This book is for anyone who wants to create cutting-edge Internet-based applications using ColdFusion 8 – the most customer driven version of ColdFusion to date.
If you are a Webmaster or Web page designer and want to create dynamic, data-driven Web pages, this book is for you. If you are an experienced database administrator who wants to take advantage of the Web to publish or collect data, this book is for you, too. If you are starting out creating your Web presence, but know you want to serve more than just static information, this book will help get you there. If you are want to easily take advantage of client-side Ajax then this is the book for you. If you have used ColdFusion before and want to learn what’s new in ColdFusion 8, this book is also for you. Even if you are an experienced ColdFusion user, this book provides you with invaluable tips and tricks and also serves as the definitive ColdFusion developer’s reference.
This book teaches you how to create real-world applications that solve real-world problems. Along the way, you acquire all the skills you need to design, implement, test, and roll out world-class applications.
Both as a tutorial and as a reference, this is the seventh edition of what has become the standard ColdFusion book (along with its two sequel volumes). And this new updated enhanced, and extended edition improves upon what has made this the #1 selling ColdFusion book ever.
Enjoy, and good luck with ColdFusion 8!
(Note: The size of this book has grown with each edition, and this is now the first 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).
