CA288 Advanced Web Application Development Using ColdFusion
Student Quote
CA288X (ColdFusion) class is the best class I’ve ever
taken. The professor who taught this class has given students vivid
lectures with excellent class notes and solutions. Instead of asking
students remember terms for tests and exams, this class had many
hand-on exercises and the assignments, which has greatly helped
students to understand and master the material. With the discussion
board the professor created, students could post their questions
and answers and discuss anything class related, which really benefit
all students.

Student Quote
The ColdFusion courses (CA278 and CA288) are exceptionally good.
They taught a wide range of ColdFusion skills from fundamentals
to professional guru. I believe that anyone who takes these two
classes can have almost all the skills necessary for doing enterprise
work. The professor is outstanding.
- Peter, Engineer
Very logical development of a shopping cart, which looks fantastically
complicated in action. Each step made sense and all the bells and
whistles were thoroughly understandable.
