Description
Unlike other ColdFusion books, this book doesn't laboriously go through the syntax of all the ColdFusion tags. It is intended for people who want to learn how to design and implement world class ColdFusion applications. Expert ColdFusion Application Architecture gives you all you need to achieve your goals, looking first at planning your application, the target audience, and using UML diagrams to visualize your work. The author continues by looking at implementation, including modularization, and object oriented techniques, employing design patterns and frameworks, designing custom ColdFusion tags and components to suit your needs, and optimization and standards.
Over the course of the book, you will build up 3 sample case study applications, to demonstrate the art of ColdFusion application design - a KWIC (KeyWord In Context) application, a shopping cart, and a full-blown content management system. The book is written to be usable by any reader who has mastered the basic ColdFusion tags and wants to know more, regardless of which ColdFusion version is being used. It will fully support the new ColdFusion 7 release.
