Reality ColdFusion: Intranets and Content Management

This is your invitation to be part of real-world ColdFusion development teams as they tackle real-world problems.

Developers of all levels have been trumped at one time or another by the amount of time it takes to design, build, and implement a quality custom application. This holds true even in a ColdFusion environment, renowned for its ease of use and rapid application development. But developers don’t have to forge ahead on their own any longer. This book, part of a new series of ColdFusion books from Macromedia Press, puts readers squarely in the middle of a crack team of experts as they confront real-world development problems and design real-world solutions. The end result includes complete, configurable, high-quality applications that developers can use in their own solutions.

This title focuses on helping readers create typical Intranet and Content Management applications – the most frequently built ColdFusion applications. Written for experienced ColdFusion developers, this book presents thorough and complete case studies of that demonstrate and teach the techniques used by the experts.

The book is divided into five sections, each representing a complete application – a content management system, a reporting engine, a project requirements tracking system, a personal information management application, and a complete community site (featuring chat, threaded discussions, and more). All the documentation for the development process for each application is included, with an emphasis on getting results quickly.
