Fantastic for a beginner to jump right in!
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.

Great Book
After reading several books...I wished I started with this one. The information was presented in an easy to understand format. All pre-writen chapter code can be downloaded from the books website. Great book!!

For a book touted as being "for the beginner"....
...it didn't disappoint. It's rare that a "beginner's book" turns out to be just that, but this one is a rare exception. The book does such a wonderful job "introducing" you to ColdFusion, it makes you wonder why all tutorials can't be written this way. Moore does a superb job of breaking (what I thought was a monster of a language) ColdFusion down to its simplest terms and made it VERY easy to digest. I've not yet completed the book (currently on step 8), but I have already ordered a more advanced book for further study - he writes in a way that MAKES you want to learn more (as well it should)!
Bravo, Mr. Moore! Excellent introduction to ColdFusion - highly recommended reading for anyone wanting to take their design and site management to the next (necessary) level.
