I'm confused...You recommend the CF magazine, yet, you are telling us all that it may be lost cause to continue our CF development??? Erika "Friendship is never an accident.

Excellent magazine (yes, very pricey). Occasionally I treat myself and am never disappointed. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

I agree with what Zac said - mostly filler, occasional article of interest, *very* occasional "must-have". > Hello cf-talk, > > I've seen the Cold Fusion magazine website "Cold Fusion Developers > Journal" on the web. > > Is the magazine any good?

RE: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?
I've subscribed for two years now and with only one or two exceptions each month has something I didn't know at all or didn't know enough about. It is a bit pricey but I definitely think it's worth it. Besides take it as a tax write-off :-)) I also think it's a good way to share information, they seem pretty easy going over at Sys-Con and really easy to work with if you want to write an article for the mag.

Re: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?
I heard at my last user group meeting that starting in July it's going to be given out free to everyone w/ Registered ColdFusion products.

Some issues are just throwaways and in general, as has been noted, the layout, error checking and general attention to detail is sometimes sorely lacking. And some of of the article are pure filler (YMMV but I thought this month's issue with the article on directory structures was just a total waste) I'd check out the website and go through the articles there and see if you find anything worth while. I typically just grab the odd issue from the newsstand when it has a few good articles and then just use the website for the, more common occurrence, when the articles just don't make it worth the cover price. -- Every cloud has its silver lining, and lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.pixelgeek.com/ ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?
Jeff, I ordered it when I started with CF and have definitely picked up useful information. Not so much from the examples but the ideas or articles put me on the rite path to upgrade and enhance the functionality of the web that I am working on. I have done a lot of search through the archived issues that helped. I am definitely counting on it to help with CF5 when it comes out. -Original Message- From: Jeff Fongemie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 9:06 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Cold Fusion Magazine?

RE: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?
It is marginal. There are a couple of really good writers/ColdFusion developers whose articles routinely grace the magazine. However, much of the articles are nothing but promotional pieces for software products written by the vendors of those products. There are often egregious errors such as missing examples or pictures that appear 10 to pages away from the article. The layout, in general, is not the clean, organized design you'd expect from a printed publication but, rather, the chaotic, half-hearted attempt you'd expect from a Web site. Have a look at the Web site and you'll get an idea of what I mean. I signed up awhile back and have been the recipient of their spam ever since. The content of the messages are not ColdFusion related, but pertain to their other publications and the products/technologies show cased in them. Oddly enough, I've tried to join the ColdFusion mailing list that they maintain several times. The first time, I was able to participate for a month or so, but my e-mail address was dropped (I guess). I've not been able to re-subscribe as the list subscription mechanism on their site doesn't seem to work properly. Doesn't stop them from sending an advertisement to my e-mail account every month asking me to join the list. :P Oh well, my recommendation would be to just read the good articles on-line. The site is atrocious to navigate, but there are some gems in the content now and again. Benjamin S.

RE: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?
Jeff I'll put it this way regarding CFDJ: It cost me less than $200.00 for a two year subscription, but I have learned more than $200.00 worth of coding examples, tips and received different perspectives on the same issues I am dealing with... Also, check out one of their site at http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion/ and you can judge for yourself... they also have a very good mailing list at http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion/list.cfm -Original Message- From: Jeff Fongemie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 9:06 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Cold Fusion Magazine?

Re: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?
It is a bit pricey, but worth it, IMHO. You'll find articles that run the gamut, from novice to advanced, from programming tips to utilizing advanced CF features. What I particularly like about it, is that it doesn't remain bogged down in CF particulars, but contains articles that deal with other languages and technologies (always with a CF tint of course). If your primary development environment is Cold Fusion, I'd highly recommend the CFDJ.
