New Books from Peachpit and new sitepoint Blog about CF

I had a note yesterday from Jackie Hill of Peachpit with details of a some new books that they are releasing this month.

Ben Forta's bestselling ColdFusion book has been updated for version 8, Adobe ColdFusion 8 Web Application Construction Kit, Volume 1: Getting Started. May well be of interest to my readers. I checked on Amazon and they also have Volume 2 and Volume 3 of the book affectionately known as CFWACK. I have posted links to all three volumes in the right hand menu bar.

With so much new stuff in CF8, Ben has had to split the book into three volumes. The pricing is also interesting since Volume 1 is way less than the other two. Maybe Adobe are getting the point that there needs to be a better path into CF for beginners.

On publicising CF. I see that Kay Smoljak is going to be blogging about ColdFusion at SitePoint. They regularly feature interesting articles about web site development and I often read with interest the articles on Javascript, AJAX, Search Engine Optimisation and CSS issues.
