ColdFusion Cookbook: New Open-Source Publication for the ColdFusion Community

 
Jan 06, 2006
Cookbooks are well known for providing easy, step-by-step instructions on how to perform various tasks in a language, as shown and explained by people who have actually successfully accomplished the tasks in the past. It is far easier to follow their instructions and to learn from their mistakes than to take the time and do it yourself.

In this spirit, Raymond Camden is starting a new community project called the ColdFusion Cookbook. The Cookbook will essentially be a collection of problems that ColdFusion programmers have solved, each complete with its own solution. Ray elicited response from the community on the CF-Talk list at House of Fusion, and the reactions were enthusiastic. The ColdFusion Cookbook site is currently under development and coming very soon, and will contain a form for submitting articles to the cookbook, as well as a feature allowing for comments by the community. The current plan is for this to be an online project only, free for use, allowing anyone to download the pages that they want for printout, but not to have an actual print book. Of course, who knows what the future may bring?

This project exemplifies the open, caring aspect of the community, who are willing to give of their time and knowledge to others who may, in all actuality, be competitors.
