Summary: A must have for all CF'ers...
Review: Being a ColdFusion user group president, I give this book my seal of approval. This book is well written with easy to understand examples. It will help someone with no CF knowledge all the way to the experts. This book is well laid out and is enjoyable to read. I didn't know what to expect from Wrox on this. I have been a huge Ben Forta fan but this book is just as good as his (if not better)! If you want to learn CF, or just want to get better, buy this book. You will be very happy with it.

Summary: Good book and a few 'wishes' left..
Review: Good book, clearly written and with a good balance of examples, explanation and code snippets. Professional CF 5.0 also describes and explains some advanced topics like WDDX, COM and WAP but these are a little to advanced for me personally -for know that is- :)
My wishlist is based on the really intermediate level: I could use some more elaboration on topics like (sorting) 'structures' and 'cfmail'. Also, the chapters on 'state management' and 'graphs' could use some more real-life example's.Concluding, these authors are the professionals, there is lots to learn here and the book it is clearly written: buy it!

Summary: Delicious Cold Fusion Resource
Review: I have had a chance to look over this book and the amount of stuff covered is amazing. I have been working with CF5 for a few months in beta and this book is still blowing me away. Right up there with Ben Forta's books as a resource.... Matt Brown - Community Manager, Macromedia, Inc.

Summary: The downward spiral of WROX
Review: This book was a great addition to my CF Web Application Construction Kit by Forta. I found that the book explained topics fairly well,but there was a lack of code examples. I'm the kind of person that needs to see the syntax. Also, I looked for hours on how to perform a simple multiple update using checkboxes. This book barely acknowledged them and provided no examples on how to incorporate them into a form using CF. I realize, however, that my incident may be isolated.

Summary: Yo Wrox - Hire some editors
Review: This is basically a fine book that covers a lot of ground. As a long time CF developer, I have read almost every CF book on the market, and I would only consider this one after I had Ben Forta's WACK and Advanced books and the O'Reilly Programming CF. I see the poor editing and inconsitant examples as part of a downward trend for Wrox books, which used to be right at the top, but now are declining in quality. It is disappointing.

Summary: The downward spiral of WROX
Review: WROX books used to be the only ones I'd buy; after having a grand ol' time with the ASP and ASP Databases series. The Professional series has been a real disappointment (and waste of money!). The books tend to be more wordy than necessary and spend too much time on the obvious and too little on the abstract. Cold Fusion is a fairly straight-forward programming language. WROX has somehow managed to make it much more. Perhaps too many cooks in the kitchen; looks like they had 18 authors put this beast together.
Look elsewhere...
