Customer Reviews

Very Helpful

Contrary to some of the other reviews, I found this to be a great guide in incorporating Flash and ColdFusion. This book is great for the beginner and intermediate level programmers and is very easy to follow and understand. Some of the other reviewers on this book stated they did not learn anything, but I sure did.(...)

Great for the CF beginner

If you're an intermediate-level Flash developer looking to get into some database stuff with Flash and ColdFusion, this is the book for you. It contains a case study (a forum) that they take through the book. One great thing they do is create a working example of the forum in straight CF before having you reformat all the code to put into Flash. It really helped me see how ColdFusion works by itself, and made the Flash frontend all the more impressive. Highly recommended (typos aside), but only for CF NEWBIES. (While it gives enough CF and SQL to get you going, you'll need a deeper reference to go much further). Excellent resource for its target audience. Gets 4 stars, but only because of the excessive number of typos.

For the Beginner

Having a background in flash development i was looking for a book which would teach me the interaction between a web language and flash. The title of the book suggested a good place to start and i wasn't dissapointed. There are grammatical errors but this book isnt trying to teach you correct english but the interface of flash and coldfusion. having no background in web language development i found this book refreshingly aimed at people like myself who want answers to questions you would normally be to embarrased to ask...well done!!
