Sorry Kevin, it�s such a fixture on the CF scene, that I forgot there was a
day when I didn�t know the book.

It's the ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit (5th Edition is the
current one I think) by Ben Forta and Nat Weiss (with others) published by
Macromedia Press.�

There are two books in the series � the CFWACK mentioned above, and the
companion book, Advanced ColdFusion Application Development.� Together,
they�re about 2500 pages (plus a CD) of pure gold.

They aren't the be-all and end-all of ColdFusion coding but if you've been
through both books, you are pretty self-sufficient for most things.�� The
writing style is not flowery,� and is written in easy-to-understand
English.�� Unlike a lot of technical authors, the authors have resisted the
temptation to impress the reader with their command of high-falutin�
language.  It's written in what I call conversational style and its easy to
work through.� There are many step-by-step tutorials.

The only warning I'd make is don't read it in bed. If you nod off while
you're reading, you could easily break your nose.

Subject: RE: Free Open Source Shopping cart?

Thanks Mike,

What is the exact title of the book CFWACK? :-)

I would love to have a tutorial that uses a shopping cart for the example
app. Then I could sit down and design one to fit the needs of my specific
store. :-)

Thanks,

Kevin
