Railo 3 Beginners Guide

I've recently been reading through Railo 3 Beginners Guide. While I have been working with CFML and Railo for a long time it's often still worth going back to basics and revisiting from the bottom up. Railo has come along way I was using Railo year back where I had to manually compile the connectors between Resin and apache I even remeber having to compile them and send then to a few people. It was alot of fun and the result was worth it. 1 it ran a few sites ( one which generated alot of traffic for several consistent months ) and 2 gave me the opportunity to delve deeper into my application server. This book now walks you through installing Railo ( which is now very easy ) and getting started on working with cfml. I have just put on a new developer who has never seen cfml and is already able to work solo I thin it's a great strength of the language and a decent programmer/developers should in my opinion be language agnostic but when just getting started books such as this are a great place to start. One quick example is the a nice hidden tag that is amazingly easy to use. Showing someone new to Railo that tag alone will impress. Anyway if ( like ) you are expanding your dev team and are considering hiring devs new to cfml ( and I recommend this ) I'd consider a copy of this book for your collection. http://www.packtpub.com/railo-3-beginners-guide-to-develop-deploy-complex-applications-online/book
