Sinopsis

Welcome to ColdFusion MX! ColdFusion is one of the easiest-touse programming languages, yet it can build the most powerful, extensible Web applications in the world. ColdFusion’s elegant simplicity is appreciated by both novice programmers who want a fast start on building real-world applications and experienced developers coming from complicated Web technologies such as Active Server Pages. You may be wondering how much effort learning ColdFusion takes. This really is up to you, because the more time that you spend with ColdFusion, the better you become with it. If you already know a little HTML and you just want to build a simple Web site that presents your collection of antique whistles to the world, you can probably be online with your first application in anywhere from three days to a week. A few more weeks of diligent practice are likely to see you selling your whistles over the Internet, and in a year, who knows . . . ? You may start building WorldWhistleExchange.com!
 

You need to know surprisingly little before diving into ColdFusion, but the more experience that you have with other programming languages, the better.
 

If you know a little HTML and you understand how the Internet works, you’re good to get started. If you’ve heavily programmed in a language such as C++ or Java, you’re home free, because you’re already familiar with solid programming concepts. If you’re just beginning your first foray into the world of programming and the Internet, be aware that you need to spend plenty of time going over the basics that we present in Part I of this book.
 

You should also get involved in your local ColdFusion user group, which is sure to be an excellent resource for learning new techniques. The bottom line is that anyone can learn ColdFusion—it’s just a matter of trying.
