Mastering ColdFusion 5 [With CDROM]

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.

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.
