Bruce, That will get you started with basic CF but to build data driven sites you'll also need some sort of data RDMS such as MSSQL, Access, MySQL or some other such product. If you're a visual learner, MS Access is great for getting started as it lends itself to creating visual models or prototyping if you will.
As for the "best" way to learn CF really depends on your learning style, if you're more a visual learner then perhaps what is offered at http://lynda.com/ would be a good starting point for you. If you're fine with have printed materials as a guide then I would suggest purchasing a copy of the latest CF WACK http://www.forta.com/books/0321125169/ will work for you. IMHO having a copy of WACK is a tool worth having in your box and well worth the investment. There are a number of sites out there that can help you jump right in a get up a running quickly. One site I used a good bit to start with was easycfm.com http://www.easycfm.com/ with lots of real world examples and tutorials. The short answer to "what is the best way to learn CF" is by doing :) HTH Bob >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Bruce Kersten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 4:22 PM >>To: CF-Newbie >>Subject: CF Help >> >>I just installed CF 7 Developer Edition that I got when I bought Studio 8. >>I sthis all I need to produce CF sites?
