ColdFusion components (CFCs) are very different from traditional ColdFusion programming elements, borrowing many of the concepts of object oriented programming. This book will guide you in understanding how to use CFCs effectively, how to harness their power and avoid their pitfalls. Discovering CFCs begins with object oriented concepts and explains how to use these with ColdFusion MX components. You will discover how to: encapsulate your code into CFCs; use object inheritance to maximize code reuse; create compositional/aggregational relationships between CFCs; go beyond the limitations of CFCs; and integrate CFCs with traditional ColdFusion code. This book will provide you with an excellent introduction to OO as it's implemented using CFCs. Whether you plan to stay in ColdFusion or use CFCs as a jumping-off point to Java or .NET languages, you'll learn how to think in objects. Hal Helms is a Team Macromedia member.

ColdFusion MX Applications with Dreamweaver MX will teach readers how to use Dreamweaver to build and maintain ColdFusion applications. It will use task-based tutorials that reside within the frameworks of two major sections: building a ColdFusion powered site from scratch and transforming an existing static site into one that's dynamic and database driven. In addition, because Dreamweaver uses Dreamweaver's visual development environment rather than a text-based scripting environment, this book will focus on using Dreamweaver to build ColdFusion applications rather than exhaustive explanations of CFML code. Everything you need to know to get up-to-speed on creating ColdFusion MX Applications in Dreamweaver MX, in a no-frills, hands-on approach. Only book concentrating on developing ColdFusion MX with the visual tool of choice for creating ColdFusion applications: Dreamweaver MX. David Golden works on the ColdFusion Server at Macromedia.
