Summary: Hands-down the best CFMX book available
Review: This is the third edition of the "Web Construction Kit" I have purchased (I also have copies covering CF3.0 and CF4.5). The way Ben (and Nate) lay out real-world examples helps visualize the concepts. Many of the examples in the book not only show you how to use a particular tag, but also give additional notes to enhance performance. I am particularly impressed with the attention they give to the application.cfm file. The previous versions of this book never seemed to fully explain the many uses for the file. So far the chapters on session scope and security have been a great help, but I am also looking forward to delving into the charts chapter. I have yet to fully read this book, but I am impressed with the fact that almost 300 pages is devoted to using "Client-side" Java within CFMX. For anyone wanting to learn CFMX I suggest getting this book. I also own "Inside Coldfusion MX" and Que's "ColdFusion MX Development" and while I like both books, they lack the depth in which Ben goes into with his book.

Summary: What a book of ColdFusion MX!
Review: XML--One of the most important aspects of ColdFusion MX is barely mentioned. What a book of ColdFusion MX! I will never buy anything from these so-called authors.
