Summary: A great tool to rapidly build any web application
Review: This guide starts off very basic but gets into some heavy-duty stuff after only a few chapters. The CD also provides a wealth of source code along with 30day trials of Coldfusion Server and Studio.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is probably the best ColdFusion book you can get right now. Goes over the very basics of web programming - all the technical stuff served to you on a silver platter. They did a really good job on showing you examples and giving detailed descriptions on how everything works. I liked how they showed you real world examples of applications and many other things you can integrate in your web apps such as Flash, Graphing, and Text Searching using Verity. It gives basics of creating a shopping cart also. Aside from giving you a strong foundation of CFML basics (and functions), it gives you a foundation in databases and SQL. The fun doesn't stop there as it also provides tips on better ColdFusion Server configuration, data persistence, generating Excel documents and an intro on Wireless programming - all with explanations, side notes, and screenshots of what's going on. This book is definitely a great one. What I didn't like about the book was how they purposely left out other juicy basics such as creating user defined functions and more in depth info XML/WDDX. I think these were basic enough to be put in here, but I guess it makes you want to get the other book. However, it's definitely a good buy.

Summary: The Ultimate CF Bible
Review: What more could you ask for in a book about CF. The new examples are clear an concise and offer the reader real world examples. Ben and company did a great job. If you are thinking about developing in Cold Fusion, or want to brush up your skills, this is the one book you NEED to get.
