pulpfiction Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Try this...Programming Coldfusion MX By Rob Brooks-BilsonYou can find a online copy in books.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vchris Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 The first one is huge! 1800 pages!!! Is it more advanced or does it just cover A-Z that an intermediate could understand?I think the second one best suites me. Not to big and contains what I need to know at this point.Thanks for the those links Skemcin.pulpfiction: The O'reilly are pretty good. I'll check it out.

Skemcin Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 The first seven chapters of the first book I mentioned could probably be skipped - thats 160 pages right there - given your level of knowledge. The next 11 chapters (320 pages) would be good to review even if parts reiterate what yo might know. The rest of the book covers a variety of intermediate and advanced techniques that I think are worth at least becoming familiar with - not learning completely until you come to a need for it - but without know what you could do, you'll never know if a solution is possible or if there is a more efficient way of doing it.In any case, the 21 Days book is very straight forward and I think you would like it.Come to think of it - you might even consider the "Developer Study Guide" for the ColdFusion MX Certification exam.If has some pretty interesting stuff.author: Ben FortaISBN: 0-321-18058-5Here are other ISBN numbers for the text mentioned:0-321-22367-50-672-32432-60-321-29269-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vchris Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I checked out the Programming Coldfusion MX By Rob Brooks-Bilson book and it seems pretty good ~1000 pages. The Ben Forta book I'm loosing about 300 pages since I know all that stuff already.Skemcin did you try that book by rob brooks-bilson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
