I have had a friend recently ask me about how to learn to program in PHP and Coldfusion. Can anybody recommend a good book for a beginner to learn these?
They are required for a degree program and I just haven't started with either language.
Thanks in Advance,
Don

For ColdFusion, Ben Forta is widely accepted as the author of the defacto standard for learning and reference books on ColdFusion. He always has two a "beginner" and "advanced". I use quotes because the beginner book is so much more. I use mine as adesk reference daily just about. It's indespensible. The same goes with the Advanced book. I think his MX editions are both out now. The beginner book is always called the Web Application Construction Kit (WACK)

Hope that helps.

Feel free tocontact me off list if you have any specific questions.
