 This course module is designed for the student who would like to expand their development skills with ColdFusion - a complete application development system. ColdFusion offers Web developers the fastest way to build and deliver scaleable Web applications that integrate browser, server, and database technologies. Some of the most compelling reasons to use ColdFusion include: intuitive tag-based language, short learning curve and powerful server-side features and technologies. Students will learn how to build a dynamic and scaleable Web application with ColdFusion, write scripts, generate Web forms with ColdFusion's programming tools, integrate databases with the Web site, and implement error-handling techniques.
