Helps you into creating complex Web applications using these code generation tools. This book includes screenshots to show you how to use Dreamweaver's built-in wizards and behaviors before moving on... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Dreamweaver and ColdFusion are both terrific Macromedia products, so using Dreamweaver MX to develop ColdFusion applications seems logical to me. However, this is the only book I've seen that actually shows how to do simple projects that work the first time. Most importantly, Sue Hove (like most Visual QuickPro Guides) doesn't leave out steps or fail to explain what's going on with the process. I've written some CF projects from scratch and they work just as well as her examples, but I liked using this book to generate CF code from DWMX that I could use to study and learn. My copy is already dog-eared. I only regret that I have one copy and I'm always leaving it at work when I want it at home, and visa versa.
Sue Hove is great!!

I bought this book last week. I was kind of expecting another "demo jockey" visual quickstart book. Instead of showing you what each menu item does...this book takes you through a more tutorial based learning experience. I have found this book to be extremely helpful. I am not a programmer, and frankly have little desire to be one. This book shows you Dreamweavers object oriented approach to creating coldfusion apps through Dreamweavers codegen functionality. I have been corresponding with the author (Sue Hove) and she has informed me that there are really no changes from DreamweaverMX and Dreamweaver MX 2004's codegen functionality. So this is the book to get even if you are running MX 2004 and coldfusion mx 6.1.
Excellent starter book about ColdFusion!

If you want to start learning ColdFusion and are a Dreamweaver MX user, this is the book to get. It will guide you step by step through the basic concepts you need to know to get started. After completing this book you will be ready to move on to one of more advanced books. I bought Ben Forta's book first and tried several times to start learning ColdFusion, and failed. Now, after going through the "Visual QuickPro Guide", Forta's book makes more sence. The best beginners guide out there!

The authors deliver an excellent introduction to ColdFusion developing for Dreamweaver users. Maybe the best book available on the market for HTML people that needs to go one step further and want to get started with application developing

The authors, Marc and Sue, have taken their time and obviously performed their research on their target market as well. I can say that because this has to be the best beginner book for making ColdFusion MX web sites with Dreamweaver MX that I have read to date.I found the book to be very well organized, easy to read, thorough in it's discussion and the included exercises of the task at hand.Not only do they cover the basics in the first segment of the book, but they get into hand coding and advanced features of ColdFusion MX in the second section of the book.For a little book (312 pages), it certainly is packed with punch! If you want to get started making ColdFusion MX Web sites with Dreamweaver MX, then I highly recommend this as your first educational resource for the project you have been craving to make.
