Do Not Buy This Book Unless You Like Being Confused
This is the worst possible book you can buy if you want to learn ColdFusion. They introduce unexplained, confusing code, throwing in comments that seemed to have "suddenly occured" to them as they were writing something else. It's impossible to start at a low level and build up your knowledge. It is instant confusion. I'm a fan of Dummies Books - most are valuable. This one is awful. I hate it.

ColdFusion 4 for Dummies
This dummies book is one of the worst I've seen. Compared to other CF resources this is my least valuable one. Even if you are a beginner the examples are mediocre. Not to mention several valuable tags like CFHTTP and CFFTP are not even listed in the book. The organization of the book is also confusing as it is put into the "dummies" format. Instead of trying to write a "funny" resource they should have focused a little more on the contents.

Difficult resource
There is some valuable information presented in this book, but plan on spending at least half your time extracting it. It many compliment your other CF resources.If this were the only CF resource available, I'm sure there would not be many developers thriving today. Even if you're a Dummy, look around for something else.
