Title: Too thin, wrong angle on important topic
Review: I was aware that this book was outdated by the time I ordered it, but I was curious to see what exactly it had to offer.Ironically, it's best use (IMHO) is NOT how to use ColdFusion to build an intranet - the code exampled used are too simple and rudimentary to do much good without major tweaking - but, rather, as an introduction to the intranet concept. And as such, it actually does a decent job. Now, if only Mr. Desborough had stuck with elaborating in depth on the structural setup of an intranet and mentioned ColdFusion only in passing, then it would have been a really good read.As it is, the book can no longer be recommended. CF3.0 is too outdated, and the code examples are downright lame - more space is wasted on gratuitous hype for the consultants and companies who have written the code than on actual code. And a large part of the code consists of commented-out copyright notices from those same consultants. Waste of paper.
