Dynamic Publishing with ColfdFusion MX is brought to you by the leader in dynamic publishing implementation and a supporting cast of highly skilled contributors. Examples are based in a real-world application, addresses the interaction of three key roles in dynamic publishing: developer, architect, and technical manager.
With the upcoming release of ColdFusion MX, new functionalities will allow greater use of dynamically populated content fields on web sites. This book assumes that readers have a basic knowledge of the technology and language of ColdFusion and focuses on implementing that technology in a real-world context. Where technological updates need to be provided, the author has included them. But he goes beyond the tool-based information to provide concrete guidance on the challenges of dynamic publishing and how to solve them. The solutions required to implement the technology effectively rely on developers, architects, and technical managers understanding the issues and working on them in tandem. Dynamic Publishing with ColdFusion MX will prepare them to work together to release the dynamic content-based web sites that the marketplace is calling for. It is the focus on implementation and solutions and the teams involved in the process that makes this book different from other books expected to be on the market.
