Description: This is the revised award-winning sequel to my ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit.

Co-authored by some of the most respected ColdFusion programmers, all of whom have gained their real-world ColdFusion experience the hard way, this book is the only place you'll find extensive coverage of all aspects of ColdFusion application development, including new ColdFusion 8 features.

Here's a partial list of what you'll find in this new book: creating your own tags and functions, writing ColdFusion Components, improving application performance, leverage Ajax and Adobe Flex, using XML and related technologies, how to use the new interactive debugger, internationalization and localization, and much much more!

Both as a tutorial and as a reference, this is the latest edition of what has become the standard ColdFusion book (along with its two sister volumes). And this new updated enhanced, and extended edition improves upon what has made this the #1 selling ColdFusion series ever.

Enjoy, and good luck with ColdFusion 8!

(Note: The size of this book has grown with each edition, and this is now the second volume of a three volume series. While most of the content is in print form in the book, some chapters are being made available electronically on this web page).
