Hi James -- I personally love the books published by WROX. They take a step-by-step approach, often a little clearer than O'Reilly books. But they don't spoon-feed, you can move pretty quickly through the material without a whole bunch of filler. Don't know about Cold Fusion, but I have their books on ASP, ASP Application Design, Javascript, Professional XML, C++, Visual Basic and JAVA and they've all been winners. Good Luck! -- Dave Bushnell ------------------------------------------- >>>>> DIGITAL MARKETING ASSOCIATES <<<<<<<< Creative development for interactive media. 212-741-9588 | http://www.dma.net ------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: webproducers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:webproducers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of james scola Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 3:25 PM To: webproducers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [webproducers] Can anyone recommend good backend info resources January 27, 2003 Hello Everyone, Can you please recommend some good resources(web sites, books) dealing with backend programming, server side technology, e-commerce and databases..i.e. ASP, PHP, JAVA, PERL, Cold Fusion, etc..
