Coldfusion Tutorials

ColdFusion is a programming language based on standard HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). It is a database application development tool that provides a way for a database to have a Web interface. Using Coldfusion, the database can then be queried and updated using a Web browser. ColdFusion is used to write dynamic webpages, a fundametal requirement for ecommerce in web pages. It lets you create pages dynamically based on user input, database lookups, time of day or almost any criteria you can determine.

Using ColdFusion, you can develop an enormous range of functionality which is not possible either in static Web sites or in traditional client/server applications. ColdFusion applications include the server-side ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) in addition to HTML. CFML gives you control of your applications. It integrates a wide range of server technologies and dynamically generates the content that is returned to the Web browser.

When a page is requested by a browser, it is automatically pre-processed by the ColdFusion Application Server. Based on the CFML in the page, the Application Server executes the application logic, interacts with other server technologies, and then dynamically generates an HTML page which is returned to the browser.

The following ColdFusion tutorials will help to develop an understanding of ColdFusion, its use and benefits.

So if you want to make a web page of exceptional quality or design web software, ColdFusion is fundamental.
