Very advanced book

This book is oriented to developers with Coldfusion, XML, and Javascript experience. It addresses points that are not easy to find in usual developer books.

An essential reference

This book covers many advanced topics like scalability, WDDX , CFC, Regular Expressions, custom tags, COM and internationalisation. If you are serious about ColdFusion development, it's an essential reference.The targets are those who eat, sleep, and breathe ColdFusion. It covers topics you didn't even know existed with ColdFusion. Just when you think you are an "advanced" developer, along you will discover new things... The authors managed to assemble tons of invaluable information, designed to be read and used as needed (instead of in a linear fashion), one chapter at time. This makes it ideal for picking up and reading on specific subjects as the need arises

WOW!! Put to use within the first chapter

Within 1 chapter, I was already able to increase performance and get a quality return from this book. A must for every Cold Fusion Developer. It's part 2 of the Cold Fusion Bible!

Great book for advanced users, even better semi-experienced.

I have been working with Cold Fusion for about two years now, and with the introduction of 4.0 I have been very impressed with some of the new functions. This book has everything to create great applications to give your web site that perfect edge. The price is VERY reasonable for the amount of content that it contains, and with the Cold Fusion 4.0 Web Application Construction Kit, you will have all that you need in your Cold Fusion arsenal.This book takes certain aspects of Cold Fusion and breaks them down nicely. I really liked the section on custom tags. This is also a great reference book because it has a great index for looking up ANYTHING that you need to find.With this book you will be well on your way to creating very powerfull, dynamic applications and then integrating them into your web sites. Now the only thing you need to do is to be able to make the site so that it catches the eyes and people and will make them come back to it!!! =)
