Summary: Great book, but no customer services from MCP/QUE
Comment: Great book if you want learn what is the Cold Fusion. However, I had an error when I installed the single version cold fusion that it come with the book. I called the MCP/QUE user support but cut me off with the phone messages. I emailed them but no response.

Summary: A must for beginners and intermediate CF users alike
Comment: Before I bought this book I had never heard of Cold Fusion (Except the Nuclear stuff in school). After using this book I had a database driven web site up in a week. If you are new to CF and do not have version 4.0, BUY IT! lots of great examples.

Summary: Still use this as a constant reference
Comment: I have had this book for about a year and a half and I still find myself returning to it again and again (Probably because my memory isn't what it used to be). Introduces web designers to database creation for dynamic web page generation. Great examples that show how easy it is to create web to database integration. Shows uses of javascript with Cold Fusion. If you can't wait for Cold Fusion 4.0 to come out, get this one!

Summary: The ONLY book I would recommend to get going quickly
Comment: I picked up this book not even knowing what Cold Fusion was capable of doing and within days I was writting code that could be used within our organization. The size may intimidate, but it covers every topic you need to know. My only complaint is the brief (and confusing) manner in which session variables are explained - an important topic if you need to develop secure web sites.

Summary: A Great, But DATED book This is not 3.0 !!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: I have had to make extensive use of some of the new 3.0 features. They are NOT covered here. This is the best organized & best written reference on the subject of Cold Fusion.Unfortunatley it is useless for 3.0 features, I had to use the online manual & the John Burke book to decipher them. To his credit he has not labeled the book 3.0, but he has not labeled it 2.0 either.
