Firstly let me congratulate you on your choice of software....you will pick up CF quickly I'm sure. My first suggestion (along with most others) would be to pick up a book called "the Coldfusion web Application construction kit" written by Ben Forta. The man knows everything that there is to know plus a lot more.....and if you keep your eyes peeled to this list you will even see posts from him (usually when the rest of us are stuck). I've found that if the book can't help me, and I can't find any documentation or resource to help me with a problem, this list has never failed. There are a lot of v.experienced developers here who are more than willing to help.......good luck!

I'm new to the list and am an absolute baby to the CF world. I am trying to find the best way to learn CF. I work for a community college, and my goal is to write our web site in CF giving the faculty and staff the option of logging in and changing their own content. I have read two (not so great) books on CF and done the skillbuilding CD. I would like to take the Fast Track to CF course and then the Advanced, but my boss is being stingy about springing the $ for the courses. He thinks I should just keep reading the books and fumble around. (He is not in IT by the way and has no clue what CF or even web development are.) I just feel like I'm stubbling along learning this stuff, and I'd really like to get going on it with some confidence. Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.
