I wouldnt say worthless. If you can get a cf6 book you can learn about cfcs and all that stuff which is great if your just getting into things. Then you can learn the rest from the online docs. Free is free, or cheap is cheap, either way its better than paying full price, if any price at all:)

Speaking for myself, I thought the Mastering CF books were very well done. I know we worked hard on them and I thought they came out well. I may be a bit defensive since I was one of the contributing authors, but I'll won't stand by and let you call them worthless. I also know that Rob's ORA CF

Well, hey, as long as we're still recognizing the possible value of older CF books, I'll note that there was also the CFMX Bible (which I did with Adam and David Churvis, and Hal Helms). Now, I'm sure it may seem self-serving for me to mention these (and Ray to mention his), but Steve made a

I think you are better off with a good study guide (for a certification exam) and some well written open-source apps to study. And be tough about what makes an app good. Like DRY, content and style seperate, a data layer blah blah blah
