Free ColdFusion Curriculum Now Available from Adobe

March 18, 2009 3:20 PM

In the fall we made CF freely available for teaching & learning purposes through our free edu offer. To complement that offer, we now have free curriculum for your use.

You can download the curriculum (and find more information on our edu offer) on adobe.com at this location:

Happy teaching / learning.

	Very Nice and Egalitarian! ColdFusion Curriculum is going to be very helpful and will help us fill the shortfall of ColdFusion Programmers! Dan Wilson

	Page 6 says to download the course files at http://www.adobe.com/go/cfcurriculum which is a broken link.

	Thanks for this - as someone who is just starting out in CF8 I'm looking for all the learning resources I can find and it's always good to get the official training notes straight from the source.

	Hey Kristen! Good stuff here - as my company has just taken on two college kids and it is apparently MY JOB to train them in how to write apps in ColdFusion. Any news on when the curriculum files link will be operational?

	I was out sick past couple day so thanks for your patience. Strange - these links worked the other day. I have forwarded to the folks who created them to fix asap.

	It's only the link for the files - the curriculum itself is working - just the files that go WITH the curriculum is broken

	Hi Kristen, Still seems to be some confusion. The curriculum files, all pdf files, are all there and the links are fine. What everyone seems to be looking for is the course files, the database, cfm/cfc files, etc. that go with the curriculum. Do you have a link for these files? thanks, Greg

Kristen,

I'm not sure how much power you have on this one, but requiring Windows by providing only an Access database is unfortunate. Wouldn't Apache Derby be a better option to open up this potentially great content to more users?

Also, when I try to view the full course PDF, I get this message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." That message implies to me that I'll get some kind of degraded experience in my choice of PDF readers (Preview on OS X for the record). However, all I get is that message... maybe it should instead say "You can't read this PDF unless you install Adobe Reader 9"?

Thanks for considering banging some heads to get us a cross platform database for this training material :)

	Kristen - thanks so much for getting the asset files up!!! My junior programming team is going through the basic section right now and have noticed a number of errors, omissions, etc. Who should I direct those to?

	Hi all, Sorry for my slowness here.. I've been and am still out of the office / offline but popped on to give you a quick reply. You can direct specific curriculum issues/requests to: mniemitz at adobe dot com.
