Welcome To ColdFusion
Preface
ColdFusion is a rapid application development system for professional developers
who want to create dynamic Web applications and interactive Web sites. It provides
the fastest way to integrate browser, server, and database technologies into powerful
Web applications. With ColdFusion, you can build everything from online stores to
sophisticated business systems.
Developing applications with ColdFusion does not require coding in a traditional
programming language; instead, you build applications by combining standard
HTML with a straightforward server-side markup language, the ColdFusion Markup
Language (CFML). This manual documents CFML.
