Essential ColdFusion fast gives the reader a working knowledge of ColdFusion and how to use it and how it integrates with other web-based technologies. Lots of working examples are included throughout, all of which are also available via a web-site that is powered by ColdFusion, which shows exactly how they work. Matthew Norman has written a 'get started quick' guide to ColdFusion, in the style of the Essential series, describing the setting up of a development system. He talks about how to achieve this on a budget, using techniques that are applicable to large scale operations as well. Anyone with a working knowledge of the internet, and who wants to learn more about what ColdFusion does and how they can start using it quickly, will find this book a real help.
