Ray Camden is once again joining me as a lead author, and the contributing author team is made up of all sorts of experts ensuring that you'll get quality coverage of topics, especially all that's new in ColdFusion Scorpio.

New Revision of ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit - Now with 3 times the goodness!
This was announced a bit earlier on Ben's blog (but will probably get ignored because of some other boring post), but the ColdFusion 8 edition of CFWACK (ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit) is now in development. The big announcement is that the series will move from 2 books to 3.

Would be nice to see this in an electronic, indexed (i.e., be able to look things up) format.

Re: Electronic version

Doesn't Amazon now offer some of the books it sells in electronic, searchable format for like an extra $10?

Ben,

Obviously this won't come out pre 8 launch, and you obviously wont want to give away that date.

But could you tell us how quickly after the CF8 launch this will be availble, days? weeks? months?

Ben, Amazon just emailed to say Vol 1 will be available Aug 31. It also seems to list Vol 2 and 3 as having Oct 4 and Oct 29 publish dates and is accepting pre-orders. Are those Oct dates correct (or close)?

Also, do you have a table of contents for each volume available?

Regards
Ian
