Allaire's ColdFusion is a development tool for building complex, interactive Web sites. This text offers intermediate-level content and sample applications for ColdFusion users, especially for e-commerce. The companion CD contains versions of ColdFusion 5 Application Server and Studio, Allaire JRun Java server, Apache Web server, all the book's sample code, a collection of custom tags for extending ColdFusion's functionality, and an electronic edition of the book.
As a beginner this book taught me the essentials of what I needed to know to start creating Coldfusion code almost on the first page. I created the templates they described and this gave me the hunger to read the inevitable 'lets sit down for the boring bit' chat. Totally changed my company's intranet and created good database driven pages which made addition and deletion of data easier. Everything I needed was contained in this book and now have the confidence I needed with Coldfusion code. The refence area at the back makes you keep the book at hand with both CF and SQL help included.
Very good effort.

I relied on Mastering ColdFusion 4.5 to learn what I needed to know about CF. The new edition covers the new features in depth and has good examples throughout.
