Coldfusion/MySQL/DWeaver/Cartweaver

[Guest]

Dear Developers,

Is anyone familiar with this combination (or part of it)? I have been trying to learn this for years on end... I have
downloaded MySQL, Coldfusion, bought and learned Dreamweaver bought Cartweaver.
Bought Ben Forta’s book read part of it. Referred to the pdf that comes with Cartweaver. Taken a few MySQL classes, Fast Track to Coldfusion... Traveled to Ohio to take a one on one class with a developer, (who was helpful but that was on a PC), Subscribed to lynda.com and watched all related materials... tried to complete all tutorials available on related subjects...
The problem is that the information in the media listed above used the pc in their various tutorials and not the mac... so I always hit a dead end... the developer center at adobe uses a mac in their tutorial but that one didn’t work...

There are no books at amazon pertaining to the subject... I have written or e-mailed the folks at Lynda.com and Cartweaver to ask for relevant documentation... all to no avail...

Can anyone out there help?

Thank you very very much..
Elizabeth Wallace

Hmm... if you've emailed Cartweaver themselves and they haven't replied, that may not be a good sign. I'm not familiar with this product, I imagine it's for an online shopping cart? I believe the CF Web App Construction book and other CF books have shopping cart code if you'd like to steer away from this Cartweaver product.

CFMXPrGrmR,

We have replied and sent all the information and links and training tips we
have at our disposal, as Elizabeth mentioned in her post, she has the best
resources, Ben's Book, Lynda.com, and others. Including this link

http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=433

Which includes free video how to lessons on installing CF 8, MySQL and MySQL
tools on the Mac. I post this just so you'll know we have and are trying to
help.

This is in no way meant to be negative toward Elizabeth however. Her emails
have all be very courteous and polite and she seems like a great person,
she's just stuck and is trying all her avenues. I've recommended that she
find a CFUG in her area and sent her a link to the listings on the Adobe
site. I wont post her location here, I'll leave that to here if she wishes
to do so. Hopefully she will be able to find a CF/MySQL/Mac developer in her
local to get her started.

Good post Lawrence. I of course didn't mean to put down your software, I was just pointing out to Betsy if she wasn't receiving help (sounds like she was) there would be other ways to brush a cat (I like cats, no skinning needed).

Betsy, I get stuck now and then and "try" to figure a way through it. There are times I can't and the people here are very helpful. If your question is beyond help here and it's in your budget, you may want to try an outside developer for this project. Or like Lawrence mentioned if you have a CF user group in your area, try one of those. I live in the Boston area and need to get to one myself.

Betsy,

Have you resolved the challenges you came across? I'd be interested in a little feedback as to how you found cartweaver. I'm looking at a solution like cartweaver for ecommerce sites.

Thanks
