Cold Fusion is a invaluable Web application development tool for
anyone
who wants to use
the Web to create dynamic-page applications and interactive Web sites on
corporate intranets and the Internet. 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.
Cold Fusion is designed to meet the particular needs of Web application developers. It offers a straightforward server-side markup language, a powerful application
server, and a complete framework for Web applications.
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. CFML is to the Web server what HTML is to the browser.
Dynamic-page applications are now used for a wide variety of computing needs including online commerce, communication, collaboration, interactive Web sites
and intranet systems.
