I wouldnt say worthless. If you can get a cf6 book you can learn about cfcs and all that stuff which is great if your just getting into things. Then you can learn the rest from the online docs. Free is free, or cheap is cheap, either way its better than paying full price, if any price at all:) That said....i dont want them:)

ColdFusion, as a platform and a language (CFML) is advancing and improving at such a rate a fully comprehensive tome would be dang difficult to create. History has shown that the CFWACK series are, if not the best, right up there (especially for comprehensiveness). Ben Forta et al must have sold several hundred thousands of copies already - and the new CF8 version will do better again. Just a quick tab through the User Group library I have, at a very conservative $40.00 per book (about 78 titles), amounts to about $3,120.00. I am running out of room for these great tomes. A more realistic (Australian) dollar figure would be more like $80.00 per book - a massive $6, 240.00 (we are charged a heck of a lot more). These books are the user group library - I personally own some of them - but just realised I need to update my contents insurance in case of a disaster. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
