I agree.....especially as you want to provide the ability to update content by the sounds of it. You are likely to end up with your content in some kind of db and you will need to know basic SQL in order to manage this information. In addition to this it is worth knowing a bit about db design.

I would very strongly suggest that anyone who's just starting out in CF in college also obtain at least one book dedicated solely to SQL. "SQL for Dummies" would be a good start. When I suggest it some people seem to be scared to death other professionals might think less of them for buying "baby" books. Truth of the matter is the introductory books usually go over things the more advanced ones will completely gloss over -- leaving you more confused than ever. You might want to pick up a good advanced SQL book at the time as well though... something covering the range, but focusing mainly on Oracle or MS SQL Server. Not knowing raw SQL is basically like not knowing HTML. Not a good idea if you plan on making a career of it. --min ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
