"Good semester! Great teacher! Can't wait for Advanced ColdFusion."
- Anna
CA278, Web Database Applications, is one of the best courses I’ve
taken at Montgomery College. It’s very useful and practical,
and ColdFusion is an easy language for Web developers to learn.
The course is designed well with lots of in-class exercises – a
model for all Web and programming classes.
- Ray, Technology Professor
"The 278 class was excellent. We had a great group
of people and I really learned a lot. The curriculum you prepared
was very comprehensive, and really touched on the areas you
need to begin developing your own database driven website!
What a powerful USEFUL tool CF is!! You did an excellent job
preparing the lectures and the number of and order of the lectures
too."
