ColdFusion MX 7 demo courses

ColdFusion MX 7

ColdFusion is a powerful platform-independent server-side technology used to create powerful database-driven applications. Built into ColdFusion is an application server which uses the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML). ColdFusion MX7 can be run on various web servers, and includes a JRUN web server that can be used for development purposes. CFML offers built-in tags and functions so users do not have to have a background in programming in order to use ColdFusion. ColdFusion MX7 provides for customized tags and components making it much easier than other languages to extend and customize the language to fit the needs of any application. VTC author Candyce Mairs guides you through the use of these features to build your own site. Included are work files so you may work along with her. To begin learning simply click the links.
