ColdFusion 5: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guides (Osborne))

This text addresses the complete spectrum of development issues - from design to deployment. The pedagogical aids help readers master the information, which includes: modules - each programming concept is divided into logical modules; goals - each module opens with the specific programming skills the reader should have by the end of the module; Ask the Experts - question and answer sections throughout are filled with extra information and interesting commentary; 1-Minute Drills - quick self-assessment sections to check material retention; annotated syntax - example code annotated with commentary that points to the particular technique illustrated; and projects - coding exercises contained in each module show how to apply what is being learned. Each module has a review at the end that tests material retention using short-answer, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and simple coding questions.
