I started a Head First ColdFusion book to submit to Head First. If anyone is interested in contributing, it is using markdown and on GitHub. The idea is based on the Pro Git book using the same technique.
It would take the foremost expert in CF+i18n to point out the missing i18n chapter(s). :-) Good catch!
LOL, go ahead and add one. I haven't dove into any chapters yet. Just keep the spirit of the Head First series.
Not sure that I agree that Head First Coldfusion should include frameworks. None of their books that I'm aware of discusses frameworks. At best, they have a java pattern book.
True the js, html/css, and php HF books don't discuss frameworks, but the Rails book is about the framework. I think my idea was most CF books don't discuss frameworks, unit testing, or using a debugging tool like FusionDebug. The individual chapters on frameworks could be combined into one.
The Dark Lord thinks people who don't use frameworks are wankers. Put them in the book.

I think I have to agree with Todd on this one. The topic of frameworks in CFML can be pretty broad and detailed, and should probably be left out of the first book. (notice I said "first"...;) ) If you try to cram the frameworks into Head First ColdFusion you're going to run into one of two problems: 1) you won't be able to put enough detail into each framework to do it just; 2) you'll make the book so large that it will be too intimidating to print or read.
That being said, I can definitely see it being split up into two book, "Head First CFML" and "Head First Frameworks for CFML".
And, yes, I changed it from "ColdFusion" to "CFML". After all, is the book going to be about the actual Application Server (ColdFusion), or programming with the Markup Language (CFML)?
