Released: Learn CF in a Week

coldfusion (This post is more than 2 years old.)

This is pretty big news folks. For a while now, various members of the ColdFusion community, led by Simon Free, have been working on a new educational resource for CF developers. It is now live at: http://www.learncfinaweek.com/.

The material covers 15 chapters on topics ranging from ORM, security and even internationalization. You can view the material online or download it as a PDF or eBook version.

To make it even sweeter - this is also 100% free!

Oh, this is great! I think both my wife and daughter will have to take advantage of this great resource!

I'm not having any luck with this once it tries to create the database. I've tried using Mac & Win and run into the same issue so I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing (or not doing) correctly? I have some experience with MS SQL but none with MySQL so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was going to recommend you provide this feedback on the site itself, but while I see a generic 'contact' link, I'm not seeing a specific, good way to comment about a particular lesson. I just pinged Simon Free to see what he had in mind for that. That being said, what's going wrong exactly? Is there one step failing for you?

@donna, The problem is probably due to your install of MySQL not having command line access. Fill out this form http://www.learncfinaweek.c... and once i have a way of contacting you I can send you the instructions to do it manually.

@ray, we now have an ask a question link in the header as well as a feedback/contribute section

Nice. I still Disqus on each lesson would be a great way to add commenting.

I haven't been keeping up with the CF news - is this site just temporarily unavailable or has it gone for good?
