Book description

The most comprehensive guide to learning and maximizing the latest version of ColdFusion. Inside ColdFusion MX begins with a discussion of ColdFusion MX and how it differs from previous versions of ColdFusion. The authors discuss the new ColdFusion Administration/Administration, integration with existing IDE's, recent language extensions, and the planning and development of ColdFusion applications under the new CF architecture. The book delves into a detailed discussion of the CFML language, the heart-and-soul of ColdFusion application development, including real-world example code and discussion on how to solve common problems. Coverage includes advanced application development topics, such as exception handling, interacting with other application/server resources, and extending ColdFusion MX with other technologies. The book discusses complex topics in an easy-to-follow and easy-to-understand way, focusing on the questions developers will ask when using the book for problem-solving.
