or reference. I usually end up buying the tutorial first and then the
reference close behind. There are some books that form the gray area in
the middle, like Forta's excellent two ColdFusion books. They have a
lot of tutorial, but there's a great tag/function reference in the
back. However, lately I've been using "ColdFusionMX Bible" (ISBN
0764546228) for the tutorial and "Programming ColdFusion MX" (ISBN
0596003803) for the reference. I can't see me doing good coding without
both sides of the coin (unless you've a photographic memory and can
speed read. Then you just need to spend a Saturday in your local book
store's computer section...).
