Summary: Please dont waste your time with this book
Comment: ... do not waste time with this book. It markets itself as a book that will be more usefull for the falks wanting to get an insight into CF MX. It is a general books on ColdFusion and it "covers" all its subjects in a very undetailed way. I am disapointed with this book. I would have prefered to have bought the new
Customer Rating:
Summary: OK, But buggy code and sloppy editing...
Comment: There is a lot of errors in this book and plenty of editing mistakes, such as figures/pictures not corresponding to the section.

Summary: Great Book

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book for beginners to intermediate programmers
Comment: "Inside ColdFusion MX" is an excellent starting point for anybody who wants to learn ColdFusion from scratch. The book uses simple language and illustrates the more complicated issues of programming with real life examples, which makes it very easy to read and understand.
Experienced programmers who have worked with previous versions of ColdFusion will find the book to be a great introduction to features of the new MX version such as XML and Flash MX integration, CFC's and more.
A well-organized index allows readers to quickly find any topic of interest. Chapters in the book are logically arranged and well cross-referenced. Task oriented readers will appreciate not having to plow through the book in contiguous order to be able to grasp required information.
Some of the chapters I would like to highlight as particularly useful are:
User Defined Functions; CF Components; Application Performance; Advanced Database Interaction; and very practical Tips and Tricks. Additionally, the appendices provides an invaluable resource for the novice and not-so-novice reader alike. Inside ColdFusion MX is a great book and I highly recommend it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for all skill levels
Comment: For beginners to advanced users alike, this book gives a good overview of all the new features of ColdFusion MX like CFCs, Flash remoting, and new tags like CFLOGIN and CFCHART. It also includes tips on migrating apps to MX. The book also covers all the basics like application planning, error handling, and syntax which new users will get the most use out of. I found the article on regular expressions to be very handy. For more advanced users, the book offers detailed information on leveraging ColdFusion MX to interact with fairly new technologies like web services and XML/XSL/XPath.All in all, a worthwhile investment.

The most comprehensive guide to learning and maximizing the latest version of ColdFusion. Inside ColdFusion MX begins with a discussion of ColdFusion MX and how it differs from previous versions of ColdFusion. The authors discuss the new ColdFusion Administration/Administration, integration with existing IDE's, recent language extensions, and the planning and development of ColdFusion applications under the new CF architecture. The book delves into a detailed discussion of the CFML language, the heart-and-soul of ColdFusion application development, including real-world example code and discussion on how to solve common problems. Coverage includes advanced application development topics, such as exception handling, interacting with other application/server resources, and extending ColdFusion MX with other technologies. The book discusses complex topics in an easy-to-follow and easy-to-understand way, focusing on the questions developers will ask when using the book for problem-solving.
