ColdFusion 8 Developer Tutorial Book
Until recently the Web Application Construction Kit series were the only books worth purchasing if learning ColdFusion 7/8. I have all 3 of these books and I often find myself picking bits out of each.
Although excellent books for someone just learning CF it can get expensive. This was a concern a local university shared and one of the key factors in the decision not to teach it. "Can students afford to buy all 3 books at almost £40 each just for a 6 week module?"
Today I got my copy of the ColdFusion 8 Developer Tutorial. One book covering all the basics and even some in depth AJAX stuff.
I just want to say thank you to John Farrar the author of the book for giving the ColdFusion community more options on reading material, and I hope this is the start of things to come. A great book for learning CF and the authors deserve praise.
If you are learning ColdFusion or new to some of the CF8 features I would recommend it. If you are an advanced CF user then it serves only as good refresher.
Universities you no longer have an excuse for not teaching the best web application development language!

I appreciate the comments. It was also my vision that the community would benefit from options of more books. You seem to have captured much of the spirit of my goals for writing the book. If you could help out by posting this comment on Amazon that would be good also. Many people will not buy a book without reviews from readers and it sure would be a great way to let others know what you found.
