ColdFusion MX Developer’s Handbook [PDF ebook] 

Cold Fusion is an extremely powerful web-development tool. Despite
its short initial learning curve, attributed to its accessible
HTML-like, tag-based syntax, it provides sophisticated
content-management solutions for large-scale enterprises. This has
never been truer than it is now, since the release of Cold Fusion
MX. To take advantage of this power, you must step outside the box
to learn skills as diverse as application design and Web Services
development–topics addressed only briefly, if at all, in standard
Cold Fusion tutorials and reference books.
Cold Fusion MX Developer’s Handbook teaches you what you
need to broaden your Cold Fusion skills and become a fully capable
enterprise developer. Inside, 13 Cold Fusion experts provide highly
detailed, advanced instruction that will save you countless
headaches and let you squeeze every last drop of functionality from
the newest release. You’ll master database integration techniques
involving advanced SQL queries, stored procedures, and database
upsizing. You’ll take advantage of MX’s improved integration with
other technologies, incorporating Flash using Flash Remoting, and
capitalizing on full XML support to create Web Services. In your
custom coding, you’ll build and deploy Java and C++ extensions and
wirelessly extend Cold Fusion’s reach with components that talk to
WAP and WML clients.
All this comes wrapped in practical, hard-to-find advice for
managing your content and applications and optimizing performance.
Large applications with heavy traffic need speed and efficiency,
and you get that with performance turning, load balancing, and
caching. If you’re working in a clustered environment, you need to
understand state management. No matter what your situation, you’ll
benefit from in-depth coverage of application security, debugging,
and coding methodology using Fusebox.
Every chapter is packed with the technical knowledge to give you
what you need to create serious solutions. You might find that one
particular chapter alone is worth the cost of the book because of
the time and frustration it will save you. Most readers, however,
will use various parts of this book at different times, depending
on the constantly changing challenges faced by enterprise
programmers. The mission of this book is to provide the extra
skills you need to be a successful Cold Fusion developer in today’s
demanding and expanding environment.
