Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta, 19990. Great introduction for those who are not SQL experts. Excellent reference for Cold Fusion developers that need to know SQL but don't specialize it in.

Allaire Spectra E-Business Construction Kit by Ben Forta, Raymond Camden, Ashley King, David Aden and Richard Regan, 2000. Ben Forta takes his experience creating the bibles of Cold Fusion development and applies it to Allaire's new Product: Spectra. Spectra is a very powerful but very complex. Spectra is meant to serve a different market (the large scale web project development market) than Cold Fusion. If you will be developing using Spectra we can't imagine doing so without this book by Ben Forta.

Sams Teach Yourself ColdFusion Express in 24 Hours by Ben Forta and Sue Hove, 2000. Very good if you want to get a quick start using Cold Fusion Express.

• Sams Teach Yourself HomeSite 4 in 24 Hours by Ben Forta, 1999. Another excellent book by Ben Forta.
