We have almost all the MX books now, and I was disappointed to see that CFC's are really not dealt with IN-DEPTH as much as I thought they would be.
People were so excited about them, then they went and wrote a bunch of books and barely devoted 20-30 pages to them. AND there's a TON to be discussed, tweaked and learned from CFC's from the little I've been following on a few of the programming lists. So far out of the following books (that at least go over CFC's): Mastering CFMX ColdFusion MX Developer's Handbook ColdFusion MX Advanced Development (forta) ColdFusion MX WACK (forta) ColdFusion MX The Complete Reference The CFMX Reference guides that come with CFMX The best references are the 2 Forta books, with the AD one a bit better than the WACK ... And the guides that come with CFMX. The guides are available as PDF downloads off of the Macromedia site ... So if you don't want to spend a dime and take a look first ... You might want to check that out. Otherwise, my opinion, get the Forta books. As a side note, there is a book out there where Matt Liotta wrote the chapter on CFC's. He of course said it was the end-all, be-all of a CFC guide. I was trying to find the name of it ... And I can't.... There's also a ton of books YET to be published, several written by some top GURU's and I'm looking forward to getting a few more. ;) Yes, I'm a book fiend.

Preferably one with plenty about cfcomponents. We are based in Spain and cannot browse through shop copies to find a decent one. Thanks.
