Customer Reviews

Extremely useful.

Written in an easy to read style, this book is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to dynamicise their website using Coldfusion. The book is hands-on, choc-a-bloc full of practical examples and useful tips.

A Must Have For The ColdFusion Newbie!

This is a must have for anyone looking to move from static web design into dynamic web development with ColdFusion. I am not the fastest reader, but Barry's writing style made this book very easy to read and understand. Each of the book's 10 steps cover topics that logically "fit" together for a seamless transition from one step to the next.This book offers the best explaination of "#" sign usage and the ColdFusion application framework that I have seen to date. And Barry doesn't stop with just presenting the necessary information, he also provides invaluable tips along the way. I just wish this book had been around when I first started with ColdFusion!

A Beginners Salvation!

At last, a book that not only allows beginners to enter the realm of Coldfusion programming, but also shows exactly how it can be done!As a programmer who has taught a few Jnr developers how to program in Coldfusion, I have found it frustrating to find resources online. I have found that this book covers most if not all basic elements to get you started and into the role of ?Coldfusion Development?. I have found it also covers a lot of the new CFMX features, which most CF 5.0 programmers may find of value. It also illustrates good coding practices, mapping framework architecture and best of all, it actually teaches you how to make an actual real world / resalable cf-based product.Personally, this book is a great buy and will aid me in future training of junior developers. Nice work Barry!

Don't be scared about going dynamic

Many HTML developers or Dreamweaver users need to start creating database-driven websites and web applications; unfortunately for people without any programming background, the learning curve is step. Barry Moore clearly understands how to deliver a well-organized, succinct and enjoyable learning experience even to people totally new to the world of server-side developing

10 Steps Should be 10 EASY Steps

As a reviewer of books, I find myself ensconsed in a lot of material that is dry, difficult to follow and that finds me jumping from section to section quickly and out of order.10 Steps is an easy read, easy to follow and has found me working with ColdFusionMX faster than I could have imagined. I've long been a part of the Flash community and there is no easy way to explain how Macromedia has worked to pull all of their products together.If you're hoping to use any of the MX tools in the future, this certainly isn't a bad place to start. Even better are the real-life examples that allow you to expand to your own needs and to give you a further understanding of the tool.I've monkeyed around with .ASP for years and have never felt comfortable developing in the tool, but do feel very well-versed in HTML.Barry Moore's writing style and examples have caught me up to speed in literally no time at all.Amaze yourself with what can be accomplished with ColdFusionMX and 10 Steps!
