Product Description

Peachpit's new Reality series extends a very special invitation: join a development team as it works its way through real-world projects from start to finish. In Reality ColdFusion MX: Intranets and Content Management, author Ben Forta and his team take you behind the scenes of intranet design, from the initial planning and brainstorming sessions, all the way through implementation of the final products.

Forta, a ColdFusion expert and evangelist, talks to you as one professional developer to another as he explains design considerations, walks you through the decision-making process, and points out key development challenges and their solutions. His insider approach makes you an active, integral part of the virtual design team, not just a passive reader; he teaches best practices and good design implicitly, by example. Once you're ready to strike out on your own, turn to the companion Web site, which is loaded with full-fledged intranet and e-business applications (including a mail client, scheduling program, user directory, content-management system, and threaded discussions) that you can put to work immediately as standalone apps or as an integrated suite of programs. These highly configurable applications save you time and money, letting you start your projects with tested, high-quality code. Reality ColdFusion MX: Intranets and Content Management is a one-stop resource for intermediate-to-advanced Flash and ColdFusion developers who want to design professional-quality intranets from scratch.

3.0 out of 5 stars A worthy read, but an opportunity missed..., 17 Nov 2002
I was extremely excited about this book when I heard of it's release. Having bought and read all of Ben Forta's books, including every Coldfusion developers 'must have' Web Application Construction Kit, I expected more from this book. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty in here that justifies the price tag and I would recommend it to anyone - but having finished reading it today I can't help but feel a big chunk of content was missing.

Overall, I would say that this book is more about 'best practices' than actual development. To be fair however, the book does warn you that this isn't about coding. I believe the development world could do with a book that combines the content of 'Reality Coldfusion' with that of the 'Web Application Construction Kit'. If we could learn the 'ins-and-outs' of coding, together with the practice of development planning, dealing with clients etc - that would truely be a fulfilling read.

As stated, this is a worthy addition to your collection if you read it with an open mind.
