Curious... are there good reference sites on the internet which discuss in
detail session variables, cookies and the application framework as it
applies to CF? Documentation in Forta's book is very weak at best (5 pages
in total I think).
Also, with regards to the 1st course... they cover all these issues in
detail? Thanks in advance.
