As a follow-up to my
last note, I'd also like to point
out one other resource that many
forget: the CF docs. But I don't want this
to sound like I'm just saying RTFM. Here's the
thing.
If you just think only
of the CFML Reference Guide, then it would be understandable that for some
needs, like this recent discussion of "how to limit whitespace", you may get
little help out of the Reference manual. If you don't know the tags to look for, then you can't be expected to
readily find the desired tags in the reference
(though certainly for many questions, it is a great resource).
But I find that
many don't seem to notice that there is also a "users guide" to CF. The name has
changed from 5 (Developing ColdFusion Applications) to 7 (ColdFusion MX
Developer's Guide), but it's still a great resource (and nearly 1000 pages).
Now, some may
also want to point out that the docs are available online at livedocs.macromedia.com (yes, it's still there and not
adobe,curiously).
But note that you can't readily search that
online version (it's possible in the CF7 version if you click the little site
navigation control in the top left corner). But note that you CAN
download any of the CF manuals in PDF form, at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/.
(Now, do I really remember that URL? No. I googled it: coldfusion documentation
PDF, and it's the first
result!)
