coldfusion for a beginner book suggestions

Can someone please suggest some good references on ColdFusion for a person who came from a background of C/C++ development? I don't do any kind of work in Flash (Flex only) at the present time.

My library has the books below

ColdFusion_MX_Bible 2003 edition

ColdFusion 9 Web Application Construction Kit Volume 1 mai.2010

Programming ColdFusion MX 2nd ed (O'Reilly, 2003)

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 with ColdFusion ASP and PHP training from the Source

Hack Proofing ColdFusion

Foundation Flex for developers - oriented Applications with PHP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion and LCDs

Or, is there another book I should read, too, for which I need to apply for my library.

I know that all of them are useful, but if I have time to read only one that one should choose who would be familiar with most of the linguistic nuances.  The 2003 edition of the Bible of ColdFusion would cover most of the regions? I recognize the most recent reference would be the documentation from Adobe.

I know that learning a language there are books beginner, intermediate, advanced, reference and necessary (as for the C is the book by Kernighan and Ritchie and C++ is Stroustrup) books.

This is so that I can read all the books when I had the chance.

A quick Google image search offers some tips http://www.forta.com/books/coldfusion/ and http://www.bigwebmaster.com/ColdFusion/Books/ as well as http://www.amazon.com/ColdFusion-Books-for-Beginners/lm/355FVU99NWLV8

But any suggestions or advice of this group would be appreciated.

Thank you

I did open one since the CFMX7 edition, but I think that by Forta et al CFWACK books are considered to be the best of breed of the CF to printed books.

That said, I've always had more of these books online documentation.  But I would still be working rather things myself just to be guided by someone else as to how they approach a task.

Another consideration is that I do not think that CF has complexity index that C++ has, so I don't think that there is a need 'base', 'intermediate' and 'Advanced' books for CF.  The different volumes of the CFWACK are not really an increase in complexity, but just to start with the absolutely necessary building blocks, penetrating the less necessary bits and then more esoteric feature.  But I do not think that these divisions are really made based on complexity.

And as with any other language, it is good to keep an eye on the community and what people are doing.  I learned a lot just trying to answer popular questions here, for the reasoning; but there are a lot of CF bloggers out there who publish a lot of interesting material.

  • Can you suggest a host for a beginner using dreamweaver?

    Hello!  I am a total web construction beginner so please be nice :-)  I built most of my site using dreamweaver, but I have problems to get in touch with technical support to my chosen host (lunar pages).  Supposedly they offer 24/7 support, but it took me about 10 hours to talk to someone after three calls waiting for 30 minutes each, but also to present a ticket online.  Before going further I think cancellation of my payment by credit card with them and from new with a new domain on a new host to avoid dealing with DNS transfer.  Anyone has a suggestion for a good host for a beginner by downloading a dreamweaver site?  I'm looking for a host who will have an easy learning curve (because I'm new), uses cpanel, has a quick and quality technical support and supports PHP and MySQL.  I want a legitimate company with no BS.  Of course, price is a factor, but I'm willing to pay more if the quality of the company is worthy of it.   I work on a mac, if it's at all important.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as it was difficult for me to assess through searches random review hosting companies. Thank you in advance for your help!

    For my small sites (those with little traffic and no e-commerce site), I have switched to Hostgator.com and have had some good results with them.

    Their documentation and their support have been great so far.

  • Window of "research/fliter' for the address book stop working

    Window of "research/fliter' for the address book worked well until I tried today, v 31.6.0. (win 7) Just updated to 31.7.0 and still no search results. Typing in characters do not appear possible matches (name/email selected option). However, CTRL + SHIFT + F works very well in the address book search. How can I get the search/filter window to work as he did? Thank you.

  • iBook charged me twice for the same books

    Hello

    I bought books author michael Sinclair, but all of a sudden they disapeard in my library and when I tried to download iBook again charged me again for the same books?

    How can I get my money back and my purchased books

    Thank you

    If you can redownload them depends on if the rights holder has removed their shop, or if you have moved since their purchase (and if you use the same account as you bought them with). You their redownloaded via the tab purchased in the iBooks on your iPad app (if they do not it check to see if you have hidden the cloud: mask and unmask purchases iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple support), or in the store (if they are the same version of the book they should have icons of cloud on them if it is not currently downloaded)?

    If versions of the books that you have purchased have been removed and replaced by new books, they can be considered as new purchases (and would have a price on them button in the store), so you will be charged to buy these new versions.

  • I am looking for a CONTACT BOOK which is outaide of my e-mail applications. Is this one? If so, what is it

    Looking for an ADDRESS BOOK outside of applications of electronic mail. Is this one? If so, what is his name? Thank you!

    Acer 8 10 Windows switch. I found it on my own actually. I'm sure there is more than one, but I really wanted a stand one. Thanks a lot for giving of your time to help others like me. I have been using an iPad for a long time. Since the iPad 2 is released. Before that I always used Win 98 to XP. I have trouble understanding 8 win for sure. I am more confused on the mixture of Acer and Win. There is a section for the Acer applications, then the op win - there is a new issue, so I might be in the wrong place or against a rule, but if possible can you tell me what are the two systems for? They are interactive? I am far from thinking there are two distinct divisions of track? Once again, you who help us who are confused, ignorant etc. are greatly appreciated! My Question itself can be confusing. My brain does not make the most popular way. I often misunderstood and am often misunderstood and it has been like that my whole life. I can get big brands in terms of schooling etc, it's just a weird thing that when everybody zigs I zag. Very creative and not logical to 99.9% of the population. We often come to the same conclusion, I just take a different route. .i tell you that incase I can't feel or interpret something oddly.
    Thank you, once again!

    I'm in the most recent update to LR CC. My tools are acting funky. The button "done" when the adjustment tool is open is missing and is editing with the Red overlay and not showing me the effect. I'm failr again to the present. Any help for a beginner?

    Try to press T to activate the toolbar. Maybe the toolbar is disabled and that's why you don't see the Finish button.

  • I'm looking for a good book on the fuse box.

    Hello
    I'm looking for a good book on the fuse box.
    Anyone know what is the latest version and what is a good book for beginners?

    Thank you

    As far as I KNOW, it's the 'latest and greatest' fusebox book, (which covers 4.1).

    http://www.techspedition.com/store/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=10

    FB 5 was recently released... recently enough that there is no book for her. I'm not sure that the 4.1 (above) book sales will be justified it being ever a book on 5.

    There are many examples of applications on the site of the fuse box, and John Beynon has a great series of tutorials on FB 4 on his blog at http://john.beynon.org.uk/index.cfm?mode=cat&catid=8C3B9E31-802D-00D5-73ADB5D764E60C74

    I know that the $85 price tag may seem a bit steep for the book of FB 4.1... but this is a good book and is one of the few (if- not - only) complete book on a relatively recent version of FB.

    Which, in addition to the sample applications on the fusebox site should be a lot of documentation.

  • What is the best book/s and/or video (s) on teaching AS3 for a beginner?

    Can you please recommend what you plan is currently the best book/s and/or teaching

    videos (indicating why, otherwise it won't help) on teaching ActionScript 3 with Flash CS5

    (in terms of power well understand and write AS3 also correctly), someone who of

    never done before programming and is a beginner.

    I ask mainly, as many textbooks of AS3 claim is intended for beginners, but really aren't and are

    misleading, because they are really intended for people who have done before emissions.

    I was ready to throw you a whole list of resources, but the mention of 'someone who never did before programming and is a beginner' prevented me to do.

    Programming requires training your mind to follow a thinking pattern that takes time to develop. While something can exist, I don't know that everyone has prepared a resource that guides a person through the basics of using Actionscript 3 programming as the learning vehicle.

    What you are more likely to find that you have already found... tutorials that jumps in the middle of the learning curve and expect that you understand the basics, or more. They won't explain what a condition or a loop does as a programming tool. Tutorials that say... "How make one...". "aren't teach you programming, they teach you how to copy something.

    In my view, that any person must first learn the programming at the most basic levels initially.  Once you understand the basics well, learn a new language becomes an easier question to find out how a new language that you know can be done.  This type of learning is generally easier to find in a school environment, well I'd be willing to bet that someone has prepared lessons of programming base which is available for free on the web, probably all just not for Actionscript... and I may be wrong in concluding what.

  • looking for a sensitive book for my Web site. any suggestions?

    looking for a sensitive guestbook for my client interpreter so his fans can send their comments. Dreamweaver offers something like this?

    DW has no such capability built-in. know what programming languages server side supports the hosting plan.  Who will determine which guestbook scripts, you can run on the server.  Most likely, you will need to be familiar with PHP & MySQL or ASPX and SQL code to make it work.

  • I have a simple solution to a thorny problem in Pages 5.6.1 creating different headers for pages in book with chapters alternating

    5.6.1 pages

    To create headers for alternating the pages of book with chapters, when to start each new chapter, go to the DOCUMENT - SECTION - CREATE a NEW ARTICLE.

    If you do not want a header to appear on the first page of a new chapter, go to the DOCUMENT - SECTION - and click HIDE on the FIRST PAGE OF the SECTION. You will then need to insert the page manually number on these pages by going to the "T" icon at the top of page to create a box, it runs small, insert internal number and format to match the font in the rest of the document.

  • Tips for using the pages 5.6 for writing a book?

    Hello

    Someone at - it advice for using the current version of Apple's Pages to write a book?

    Writing my last book in the old version of Pages with internal links/bookmarks function.  The table of contents allows, however I was wondering if the use of the pages is the way forward?  And if not, what are some suggestions on a Mac?

    Have you looked at Scrivener (http://literatureandlatte.com/).  It is designed specifically for writers of all kinds of materials.  It is useful for the Organization, research and multimedia, shaped for different destinations and hundreds of models available.  It is generally considered to be the tool first word forge to the authors.

    He has a bit of a learning curve, but it comes with a tutorial and a number of videos.  There are a lot of 3rd party videos and several courses on Udemy and elsewhere.  Once you use it, however, it is unlikely that you will return in a word processor or a publishing tool (which have two very different objectives).  There is a community of support for users, too.

    Good luck.
