Not JUST for getting certified
While this is a fine book for preparing for the Certified Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Developer exam, it is also an excellent way for experienced Web developers to get up-to-speed with ColdFusion.
Great Study Guide
I have used ColdFusion for the past 7 years.I just decided to take the certification exam.I was using the CF Exam Buster (a software written by CentraSoft) to prep me for the exam.But I only got 50% to 60% correct in the demo exam.That's why I bought the study guide and I read it from the first page to the last.With a combination of CF Exam Buster and the study guide, I got a 77% in the certification exam and I passed the exam.So now, I am certified.

Very Concise
This is a very well-written study-guide. It gets to the point without getting too wordy. It could serve as a model for other study guides. But, I do have a few minor gripes. First, some of the pages were printed kind of blurry, a kind of shadow image. Second, there is too much preaching about what the author feels are best practices, some of which I question. Best practices questions are not on the exam, at least the one I took, and thus should be left out of a study guide except as perhaps small footnotes. There were also a few minor typos, but being a niche market I can forgive that for technical books.

Excellent review material
This is pretty much the only material you need to pass the certification.I was thinking of getting the exam buster as previous reviewer suggested, but exam buster does not promise same day delivery of their products, and with the exam one day away, I had only this guide to rely on.
Couldn't have become Advanced Certified without this book!
Ben Forta's deep experience and practical application overflows from the pages of this book that I highly recommend.Of the dozens of computer books I've ever read, this one kept me astounded me with its perfect-sized chapters, handy reference and cross-reference segments, and the well-written pages.Not only is Ben Forta a good writer, he's an outstanding teacher.

If you want to pass the test
Buy this book.Enough said.Doesn't get any easier.

Excellent book
While confirming many of my already developed ColdFusion skills, this amazing book tough me a few new techniques that have brought me to the next level.An excellent book!

Good Tidbits of Info
Once again the pen of Ben comes produces a gem! This book is the perfect capstone to any introductory level book for developers that not only want to study for the Cold Fusion certification exam but take their knowledge of Cold Fusion to the next level. This 378 page tomb has more higher level tips and tricks than his equally well written 1000 page+ giants. Several tips and tricks have saved me hours of time and helped me produce better code. Now all that I need to do is pass the exam and I am sure that this book will indeed do the trick. Keep em' coming Ben... ... Read more

Well Written
most chapter's are only 10 pages or less long so you can sit down for 5minutes reada chapter then come back and read another chapter later as it helps to read a whole chapter at once Decent Book...got the job done.
The book was helpful, the chapter formats are short and to the point giving you only what you need to pass the, which is good. Just don't rely only on this book...here is a secret, there is a program called cf_buster that is a great test prep that when used in conjuction with this book simulate a certified test environment. I passed my test today.

A review guide that provides helpful pointers
Ben Forta's Certified Coldfusion 5 Developer Study Guide will not teach ColdFusion, but will be a review guide that provides helpful pointers for examinees. The book's look will be non-intimidating yet thorough, and will be highly readable in small bite-sized chunks. Each subject will be presented in a clear and direct language, with useful and well explained code examples. Sample questions will accompany each subject, as will references to recommended reading, product documentation, Macromedia course work, and existing ColdFusion books. 432 pp. Intermediate-Advanced user level. ...
