Cold–fusion
Programming - ColdFusion is designed
to meet the particular needs of Web application
developers. It is simple and powerful, and
easy-to-use environment in which Web based
applications can be rapidly designed, prototyped
and deployed. It has the capability to work
with databases and interacting with Internet
through HTTP, FTP, e-mail etc. Cold Fusion
gives developers a way to quickly build
powerful Web applications which integrate
with key server technologies such as relational
databases and SMTP e-mail.
ColdFusion MX supports most major databases,
including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle,
IBM DB2, Sybase, and Informix and it supports
most major web servers, including IIS, Apache,
and Sun ONE (formerly iPlanet).
A Cold Fusion Web application begins with
dynamic-page templates instead of static
HTML documents. A template is simply a text
file that contains both HTML and the Cold
Fusion Markup Language (CFML). Instead of
being sent directly to the user’s
browser, templates are pre-processed by
the Cold Fusion application server which
generates an HTML page that is then sent
to the user’s browser. We also want
