CF Training

Can anyone suggest a good online training course for a
relative newbie?

I really can't afford the $1-2K training I've seen. Has
anyone done the

training at lynda.com? Either the Coldfusion MX or Coldfusion
8 series?



Thanks,

David

The tutorials at Lynda.com aren't bad, they may give you a
foot in the door understanding and it's much cheaper than the 1-2k
some locations are charging. Or you can buy the ColdFusion Web
Application Construction Kit for version 7 (1 book) or 8 (3 books).
This would be even cheaper and much more thorough. Not to mention
the great reference value.



You can find them on Amazon.com, just look for ColdFusion and
Ben Forta as the author.CF Training
Thanks. I've found that I usually do better with a classroom
or online

class type environment than I do with a book, even if it is a
tutorial

type book. However, once I have some idea of what I'm doing I
do like

having a book as reference so that might be the route I take.



Thanks for your input!

CF8 essentials at Lyndia.com give you an good overview of how

to do several different things in CF. It isn't more than just
a nice

well rounded overview. I agree with CFMXPrGrmR- Forta's

WACK is the ultimate CF source. Of course you should also

go through Adobe's ''Getting Started'' tutorial.

Thanks. I'm going to pick up volume 1 of the series. I have
done the

Getting Started tutorial but of course feel like I've just
scratched the

surface. Which I know is the case!



Thanks again!


Hi David,



I'm a relative newbie also. I've found the free tutorials on
http://easycfm.com/ to be well done
and informative. They have them on all sorts of topics and list if
they are for beginners, intermediates, etc. I'd be interested to
hear what more experienced CF'ers think, but I've learned quite a
bit by viewing and trying some of them.

Thanks so much! I'll give them a try.


Hi Dave,



Came across this site recently and the tutorial seems good
for a beginner,
