Core Coldfusion 5.0 (Paperback)

Written from the perspective of an expert ColdFusion developer, this comprehensive introduction to ColdFusion 5.0 development shows readers exactly how to create robust database-driven Web applications, hands-on. Readers master ColdFusion by building a series of increasingly complex, real-world subsystems, and then integrating them into a single, enterprise-class application. This concise, practical guide introduces ColdFusion 5.0's most powerful new features, including user-defined functions, query-of-queries, and data-driven Macromedia Generator graphs. Eben Hewitt provides realistic "notes from the field" to help you cut through the hype and jumpstart your own application development. Among the key topics covered: writing ColdFusion custom tags; building secure application frameworks; content serialization with XML, deploying ColdFusion applications in wireless environments; directory and file management; Web e-mail; database integration, and more. The book also contains a complete ColdFusion 5.0 tag and function reference. The CD-ROM contains 30-day evaluation copies of ColdFusion 5.0 Enterprise Application Server for Windows, Linux, and Solaris; ColdFusion Studio 4.5; HomeSite 4.5; Macromedia Spectra 1.5 Application Framework; and JRun 3.0.1; plus an unlimited copy of ColdFusion Express, and all of the book's source code.
