Is Adobe ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit series bad for new CFML developers?

I remember when I started programming ColdFusion fresh out of college in 1999. I had a 3 day HTML class which was my first exposure to HTML, then read books. I would "buy" the Dummy series, then exchange the unmarked book for a more advanced book on the same subject covering ColdFusion, SQL, and HTML. The Adobe ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit (CFWACK) book was my bible along with a ColdFusion video series. Flash forward to today, would I recommend a new developer learn ColdFusion with the CFWACK book. No, the content has been updated for ColdFusion releases but the methodology has not. It seems to still teach on a procedural methodology not Object Oriented approach. Is Adobe ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit series bad for new CFML developers? Yes, it teaches how to create a mess with unmaintainable code UPDATE 2: And ugly code (see comments below about using script). We aren't developing one off web pages anymore but complex web applications. Even though the title says "web applications" the book misses this point. On Amazon, I looked inside Vol 1 and the first CFML code the reader is exposed to is one template with a query, html, cfoutput in "Introducting ColdFusion". I am guessing Chapter 11: Creating Data-Driven Pages and Chapter 14: Using Forms to Add or Change Data are the same procedural mess with the dreaded display/action page methodology. It appears the first mention of ColdFusion Components (CFC) is Part 5, Chapter 24. UPDATE 1: I had searched v2, not v1. It appears the first mention of ColdFusion Components (CFC) is in Chapter 11 "The Basics of Structured Development". Also CFWACK series is huge, Vol 1 is 600 pages, Vol 2 is 600 pages, and Vol 3 is 640 pages. This being said, I would recommend several ColdFusion books for new CFML developers.

Adobe ColdFusion 9 CFML Reference ** You were able to purchase the Adobe ColdFusion documentation set for a ridiculously low price around $50 but I am not sure if it is still printed with the most recent ACF release. Not Adobe but Railo 3 Beginner's Guide covers CFC in chapter 3, about 70 pages into the book.
