Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Application Development

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 advanced ColdFusion application development, including all the new ColdFusion MX 7 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, XML use, working with Web Services, structured error handling, implementing distributed processing and intelligent agents, using event gateways, IM and SMS integration, sophisticated regular-expressions processing, internationalization and localization, using the new administration APIs, and much much more!

I hope you find this new book to be a valuable ColdFusion resource. And if you are new to ColdFusion, or are looking for a general ColdFusion tutorial or reference book, be sure to check out my other ColdFusion book, ColdFusion MX 7 Web Application Construction Kit, ISBN 0321223675.

On behalf of myself, the contributing authors, and the publisher, good luck with ColdFusion, and happy coding!
