Who This Book Is For

Inside ColdFusion MX is aimed at the intermediate-to-advanced ColdFusion developer. While everyone who works with ColdFusion will benefit from the information contained within this book, little time is spent discussing the issues that a beginner might face, as there is neither time nor room to cover those topics in addition to the advanced topics we wish to discuss.

If you work with ColdFusion on a daily basis, you will find this book a great addition to your reference library, as we cover in great detail the differences between ColdFusion MX and its predecessors. In each chapter, we provide a brief discussion of what the chapter covers and how it relates to ColdFusion developers. Then, we immediately go into greater detail by taking a problem/solution approach to a real-world scenario. In our experience, this proves to be an incredibly effective way of disseminating the necessary information in an easy-to-understand way, and this format also lends itself easily to reference usage.
