Description: This is the revised award-winning sequel to my ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit.

Co-authored by some of the most respected ColdFusion programmers, all of whom have gained their real-world ColdFusion experience the hard way, this book is the only place you'll find extensive coverage of more advanced ColdFusion application development concepts and features, including new ColdFusion 8 features.

Here's a partial list of what you'll find in this new book: writing scalable applications, implementing fault-tolerance and load-balancing technologies, monitoring and fine-tuning system performance, creating secure applications, deploying server sandbox security, integration with NOS security, writing language extensions in Java, CFML, and C/C++, COM, and CORBA integration, .NET and Microsoft Office integration, working with data feeds and Web Services, structured error handling, implementing distributed processing and intelligent agents, using event gateways, IM and SMS integration, sophisticated regular-expressions processing, using the new administration APIs, and much much more!

Both as a tutorial and as a reference, this is the latest edition of what has become the standard ColdFusion series (along with its two sister volumes). And this new updated enhanced, and extended edition improves upon what has made this the #1 selling ColdFusion series ever.

Enjoy, and good luck with ColdFusion 8!
