copied!<p>Probably the best place for you to start would be the "CFWACK" (ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit) series of books. Pick the series specific to the version of ColdFusion you have available to you -- CF9 is relatively new to market, and the books are available, but a majority of shared (e.g. cheaper) hosts still use a previous version. Find out what version you will be working with, and then get the books.</p> <ul> <li><strong>ColdFusion 9</strong>: <ul> <li><a href="http://amzn.com/032166034X" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Volume 1: Getting Started</a></li> <li><a href="http://amzn.com/0321679199" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Volume 2: Application Development</a></li> <li><a href="http://amzn.com/0321679202" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Volume 3: Advanced Application Development</a></li> </ul></li> <li><strong>ColdFusion 8</strong>: <ul> <li><a href="http://amzn.com/032151548X" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Volume 1: Getting Started</a></li> <li><a href="http://amzn.com/0321515463" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Volume 2: Application Development</a></li> <li><a href="http://amzn.com/0321515471" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Volume 3: Advanced Application Development</a></li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>For prior versions, just search Amazon for "ColdFusion {version} Web Application Construction Kit"</p> <p>That is, by and large, the canonical reference for learning ColdFusion. It is updated for each new version of ColdFusion, by some of the biggest names and most thorough developers in the CF Community.</p> <p>Once you've learned any given version, it's relatively easy to catch up with a newer version by reading the release notes for that version. ColdFusion documentation is traditionally very thorough, which is amazing.</p> <p>Once you've read the CFWACK books, and you're ready to start day-to-day developer life, (if this is your sort of thing) there is a huge community of ColdFusion developer bloggers, as well as on twitter. Just because of ubiquity and continuous flow of content, I would recommend you start with <a href="http://www.bennadel.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ben Nadel</a> and <a href="http://www.coldfusionjedi.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ray Camden</a>'s blogs.</p>
