Barry Moore does a fantastic job of clearly presenting 10 steps to move from a static to a dynamic website. This book is very clear and concise and does a great job of explaining the functionality behind each step. This book was easy to follow, making my learning experience very enjoyable. I also thought it was a terrific idea to include a link to a website with the most current code changes and other useful ColdFusion information for the inexperienced.The only negative thing I can say is the coding in Step 9 is incorrect due to the fact that this book was created based on the beta version of ColdFusion. Barry does post the correct coding for Step 9 on his website, however the coding does not work properly. He has a Forum on his website and I posted a response (for help) as well as sending him a personal email and as of today I have not heard back from him.
The unfortunate part is Step 9 has to do with Security and in my opinion that is a crucial part of learning ColdFusion (if that is what you want to implement on your site and most people do). It was important enough for Barry to dedicate an entire chapter to this subject, so I still don't understand, why he wouldn't have "working" code displayed on his site.
Regardless of Step 9 and the coding issue, this is a terrific book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is new to ColdFusion.
