Free CF 8 book chapters

I've recently started reading the Adobe ColdFusion 8 Advanced Application Development web application construction kit Volume 3 and discovered that Chapters 41-54 and Appendixes C and D (a total of 550 pages) from Volume 2 are available to download as a PDF from Ben Forta's website for free!

Subjects included in the PDF are:

• 41 - More On SQL and Queries
• 42 - Working with Stored Procedures
• 43 - Using Regular Expressions
• 44 - ColdFusion Scripting
• 45 - Working with XML
• 46 - Manipulating XML with XSLT and XPath
• 47 - Using WDDX
• 48 - Using JavaScript and ColdFusion Together
• 49 - Using XForms
• 50 - Internationalization and Localization
• 51 - Error Handling
• 52 - Using The Debugger
• 53 - Managing Your Code
• 54 - Development Methodologies

You've got no excuse not to read it!

1. I just got this book. Its a shame these chapters wernt included in the book, they're the parts that interested me most. Reading from a book is so much easier (less distractions). Guess it's handy for those that don't own a copy yet

2. Hi Will,
   I agree that it would be annoying if you have bought volume 2 to find that they are not included as I often like to read these books away from a computer.
   Checking on Amazon it's not clear that these chapters are only available as a PDF and not included in the book at all unless you read the reviews.
