Heres an easy one!
Whats the easiest cost effective way to
learn how to get up and rolling in CF?
Budget a couple hundred.
I have servers, and software. Should I
take a class, a web school, or use Fortas Web App Construction site?
Opinions and links welcome...

I am a book learner. It really depends on what type of learner you are. Of course at a couple hundred dollars you won't be able to afford any hard core classes. You will be able to buy all of the books you need. A couple of good CF books, a good database design book, and maybe later one good book
I took
a class, but looking back, it would have been just as easy to learn on my own.
However, I am not in the league with the others on this list (I still pretty
much use a basic to mid-level programming technique). So if your goal is to get
to their level I think it would take some formal
Thank you for that, Dean. I'm especially pleased to hear that I've been of
help to you, seeing how much you now give back to the community. And that is
indeed the way it ought to be. I was motivated to get into user groups
because I learned so much from them, starting in the early 80's in my
I actually had to watch that CBT back in 2000 when I entered the CF
world. 'SkillBuilding With ColdFusion' IIRC was the title. It was
for 4 or 4.5 version but the basic ideas still apply today. I know I

have electrity now,
Whle some learn best by book, some of us don't. Even in college, I had to write notes from my readings and to study I would rewrite my notes, as retarded as that sounds. Just readingnor hearing a teacher in class make things click for me. It is a weird combination of all of those, plus doing it.
I just flipped through Teddy's presentation on Reactor and wanted to know other's ideas of it. Being totally new to it, is it easy for people to learn/implement, even for those of us that are a little stubborn? Seems straightforward. Does it work well for large projects? What about complex
I read somewhere that the best way to learn is having to do something... ie: your fired if you don't learn coldfusion. Hah, there is some nice learning pressure for you.I would say that the best (and cheapest) way to learn CF (or any programming language) is to read a book and try to build
MCG,It is being used for large projects and supports some rpetty complex queries.If you have an example, I can create the realationships and joins that you would be curious about.It would probably help more than just you to show how to achieve this. If you provide me with a sample schema and
SQL In 10 Minutes seems like a fine book for learning the basics of SQL Syntax. What I don't see is a good grounding in Normalization and database design. The Learn SQL in 10 minutes book focuses on SQL Syntax and SQL Queries. That is good... you DO need to know all of that and I suppose a
