Straight from the manual [Posted on 2000-08-11]
I've been programming ColdFusion for almost 2 years now, and the lack of good programming books in this great web development language is unfortunate. Forta's books on Cold Fusion are a scam...they mirror the manuals that come with the product almost perfectly. He may change the table names and databases, but he gives the same number of examples for each topic...

This book lacks in simple database principles. [Posted on 2000-10-01]
I've found this book somewhat incomplete. You can find better information about tags within the Cold Fusion Studio tags help. For instance the lack of trying to figure out how to dynamicly loop, and display values from a returned recordset. It only shows how to display hard coded values like #fieldname# not query. and then the dynamic name. There was no mention of columnlist after your query or anything. It basically just shows tons of hard coding which I find incomplete. For an advanced book it should have contained much much more. Ben Forta its not that great

A must for any CF enthusiast [Posted on 2000-10-19]
To find good books on CF is difficult. Ben Forta however has published two of the best. This book takes you from server performance to WDDX and custom tags. I really enjoyed the appendixes in this book which give you not only tag and function references, but good examples alonf with a description.

If you want to learn CF you must buy this book. No CF library can exist without this reference tool. I am using CF 4.5 currently, and I still use this book as a reference.

Great follow-up to the first book! [Posted on 2000-12-30]
This is a necassary piece for your technical library if you are a ColdFusion developer. I am a certified coldfusion developer and find this book to be invaluable for reference. It is a usual great Ben Forta read!

The best you can find. [Posted on 2001-06-05]
This book was more valuable to me than any allaire class. Sometimes I wish it explained concepts that might be new for non-traditional programmers, but overall the book is wonderful.
