Macromedia Coldfusion 5 Language Reference

I really got spoiled having this reference in addition to Macromedia's livedocs. I was VERY disappointed when their was not an MX version of this same book. I've written to both Ben Forta and Macromedia Press asking for an MX 7 Language Reference. Ben Forta is very supportive of the idea and said Macromedia Press isn't interested due to poor sales of this book. However, I would throw it back to Macromedia Press and say that this edition for ColdFusion 5 was poorly marketed as I didn't know it even existed until I searched online in hopes of finding a ColdFusion Language Reference. This is a GREAT book and it needs to be kept up to date (and I agree as the reviewer below that it does need more examples!). I hope you'll join the bandwagon and write to Macromedia for the next version!

As a long time Cold Fusion developer, remembering syntax for every tag and function is almost impossible. This little book is great a great reference for quick lookups of tags & functions. A must buy for the serious Cold Fusion developer.

While this reference contains all the functions/tags/variables/etc. used in ColdFusion, the book could use better/innovative examples. At first glance, I was surprised at the size of the book. How can someone fit so much in such a small book? Then I decided to browse through it and noticed that examples were the size of a bacteria, especially for those on functions. I would've loved if the book had better and more innovative examples, rather than the way it's currently presented. However, the book is still VERY useful for a quick reference. It's a good price too. I recommend it.
