Customer Rating:      Summary: Great book Comment: This is a terrific book. Hands down, one of the best on the market. It feels a bit "fresher" than the Ben Forta CF bible books.
Well worth the purchase.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best reference book, but not a "how to" learning tool Comment: I love O'Reilly books when I know a language and need a desktop reference. I have owned the JavaScript Definitive Resource and the PERL "Camel" book for many years.
However, if you are just starting out with Cold Fusion programming, get ColdFusion MX Bible or ColdFusion Programming instead. But remember to come back for this book when you are ready for having a good reference book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Book Comment: Hello All. I purchased this book because I needed to learn coldfusion mx and the reviews said this was the book to purchase. And it is the book to purchase, it has completely everything there is to know about coldfusion. If you are going to buy one book one the subject, let it be this one. And not to mention, the support on the book is great also. Good work Rob!
Customer Rating:      Summary: O'Reilly - Again a must read Comment: I have never been disappointed by an O'Reilly book. This book is no exception. Well written, clearly structured. After using CF for a long time I am still discovering some new details. Absolutely worth the money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A well-structured, systematic reference Comment: There are more than a few valuable ColdFusion books on the market but, in my opinion, they suffer from their "hands down" approach that makes them very well suited for the beginners but, at the same time, often fails to deliver what experienced developers really need. So, if you already have some decent experience with ColdFusion or web developing in general (no matter the language), give yourself a favor and get a copy of Brooks-Bilson's book. The author delivers a well-structured, systematic reference to ColdFusion; just what a developer needs to get the job done, also a handy reference to keep near the keyboard. A special mention is due to the fact that this is the only book that covers version 6.1.
