Have him read the Mach-II Development Guide and Sean Corfield's Coding
Guidlines. :P

Seriously though, I can't recommend enough the ColdFusion MX Bible by
Churvis et al. From beginner to advanced, there's something in that book for
everybody, and is a nice, methodical way to get into CF. The only caveat is
that it's based on MX 6.0, and I think Rob Brooks-Bilson's book is the only
6.1 book on the market. However, the book is still highly accurate, and
since your friend is a beginner, probably won't have to worry about the CFC
hacks/fixes and stuff for a while!! There are a ton of other good books out
there as well, but this one in particular has been an excellent read.

Just my $.02.

Regards,
Dave.
