Title: Inside ColdFusion MX by John Cummings, Neil Ross, Robi Sen ISBN: 0735713049 Publisher: New Riders Publishing Pub. Date: 13 August, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |

Summary: Good for all skill levels
Comment: For beginners to advanced users alike, this book gives a good overview of all the new features of ColdFusion MX like CFCs, Flash remoting, and new tags like CFLOGIN and CFCHART. It also includes tips on migrating apps to MX. The book also covers all the basics like application planning, error handling, and syntax which new users will get the most use out of. I found the article on regular expressions to be very handy. For more advanced users, the book offers detailed information on leveraging ColdFusion MX to interact with fairly new technologies like web services and XML/XSL/XPath.
All in all, a worthwhile investment.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great book for beginners to intermediate programmers
Comment: "Inside ColdFusion MX" is an excellent starting point for anybody who wants to learn ColdFusion from scratch. The book uses simple language and illustrates the more complicated issues of programming with real life examples, which makes it very easy to read and understand.
Experienced programmers who have worked with previous versions of ColdFusion will find the book to be a great introduction to features of the new MX version such as XML and Flash MX integration, CFC's and more.
A well-organized index allows readers to quickly find any topic of interest. Chapters in the book are logically arranged and well cross-referenced. Task oriented readers will appreciate not having to plow through the book in contiguous order to be able to grasp required information.
Some of the chapters I would like to highlight as particularly useful are:
User Defined Functions; CF Components; Application Performance; Advanced Database Interaction; and very practical Tips and Tricks. Additionally, the appendices provides an invaluable resource for the novice and not-so-novice reader alike. Inside ColdFusion MX is a great book and I highly recommend it!

Summary: Great book - Good Reference for the new features of MX
Comment: This is the first book I've seen that tries to go beyond ColdFusion syntax and is definitely geared toward the intermediate developer.
It does not focus on the basics like all the others but rather gives real-world examples and approaches. I liked this book a lot, though I can find no use for the tag reference (adds extra 200 pages).
The XML and Web-Services chapter was easy to understand and so was the application architecture chapter.
I did not like the caching chapter which I thought was missing some info about software like xcache.
