Book Description
For intermediate to advanced ColdFusion developers, the Certified Macromedia ColdFusion MX Developer Study Guide serves one important purpose: To prepare developers to take (and pass!) the test to become certified ColdFusion MX developers. How, then, to explain the fact that more copies of the previous edition have been sold than there are certified ColdFusion developers?! Could it be that the coverage is so thorough, the topics presented in such concise, clear terms that the popular study guide has become the de facto desk reference of choice for ColdFusion pros— regardless of whether they plan to take the test? Whatever the case, one thing is clear: If you need to get certified in ColdFusion MX development, this is the place to start. Written by ColdFusion product evangelist Ben Forta with input from the team that developed the exam, the study guide is organized as a series of tightly focused review sessions that follow the same subject divisions as the test itself. Each chapter of this thoroughly revised volume—including new chapters on application security, XML, Web services, and Flash remoting—is short and to the point with well-explained code examples. At the end of each review section are tips and sample exam questions, and a companion Web site rounds out the package. Best of all, the book includes a coupon for the exam, so if you take the test, the book is essentially free! Get this volume, and get certified—it's as simple as that!

FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
The ColdFusion application server component of Macromedia's MX suite allows web developers to create dynamic sites that interact with underlying databases. Training's CD features trial versions of Dreamweaver MX and ColdFusion Server, but the book is not bound well and may not stand up to repeated use. Chapters take the form of step-by-step lessons, beginning with a useful topic and time-completion outline and including notes answering common questions. This beginner's guide would be most helpful to readers already familiar with HTML and/or Dreamweaver MX (LJ 1/03); appropriate for all libraries. Certified trains experienced developers for Macromedia's Certified ColdFusion Developer exam. Each chapter includes sample questions; tips, notes, cautions, and cross references help anticipate common pitfalls. A good purchase for larger libraries that already own more basic texts; it teaches to the test rather than helping developers learn ColdFusion from scratch. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
