Using Allaire's ColdFusion 4, the newest version of this popular Web server and development environment, requires careful guidance. Ben Forta has been writing the best ColdFusion instruction and reference books for years, and this latest edition of The ColdFusion 4.0 Web Application Construction Kit is the finest guide to date. Using ColdFusion to its full potential requires a fairly broad knowledge base, which Forta helps you develop. He begins with simple database-query applications and moves on to full-featured electronic-commerce systems. He includes instructions for using the ColdFusion tools, of course, but you'll also discover tutorials and references on the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), SQL, and the Verity search language. Even if you've never used any language other than HTML, you'll feel comfortable learning from this book. The illustrative examples in The ColdFusion 4.0 Web Application Construction Kit really shine. Whether you want to know how to perform a three-table join, cache queries, or do any of hundreds of other tasks, there's a code listing for you in these pages. You'll also find some plug-and-play applications, including an online store that's ready for customization and deployment. All examples appear on the companion CD-ROM with evaluation versions of ColdFusion Studio and ColdFusion Server. --David Wall

 Good stuff! September 24, 2005
S. Hoffmann
Right now I am in the middle of my online training, but from what I have seen, this is going to help me a lot after the class is done.
Not only that, but it was quick to arrive!
Thanks!

If you interested in learning Cold Fusion, don't waste your time or money on this book. Difficult to understand and poorly written. What a dissapointment!...
One of the most useless books I've had October 9, 2002

I can't believe this book has got such good ratings. It's horrible. It has some useful examples I'll admit, but the appendix is useless. Trying to find detailed information about how a tag works? Don't bother looking in this book.
Everything I ever needed to know about Cold Fusion ... August 29, 2002
... I learned from Ben Forta. OK - If your going to learn or do any sort of reading into Cold Fusion, don't waste your time, get a Ben Forta book okay? I have read all the books on CF, and his are the most thorough, practical, and easiest to understand. The "proof is in the pudding" as they say, in that I still use this book nearly weekly as a reference tool, even though I have the updated versions. I simply know where everything is, because I have used it so much. Thanks Ben - we love ya' . . .
 A Good Book, but... January 14, 2002
KLETCO (Manchester, MD USA)
First of all, this book is about Cold Fusion 4.0 and the current version of Cold Fusion is 5. So, an update would be nice since there are significant differences between 4.0 and 4.5.1 and between 4.5.1 and 5. This is a great book for beginners needing to find basic information and nothing too in depth. I found some topics to be simply glossed-over and some left out completely. For example, Allaire/Macromedia apparently recommend using CFLOCK to lock application and server variables, but this really is never mentioned in either this book (recommended by Macromedia) or the Cold Fusion documentation. Why? Discussion of Client Variables was skimpy, and the book is filled with errors. I would like to see the tag guide in the back organized alphabetically instead of by type of tag, so that I don't have to go to the index to find a tag's page number first. In general, I have used this book as a handy reference to find basic information and to supplement the documentation that comes with Cold Fusion, but I have gone to Allaire's forum website for more in depth advice and support.
