| Definition
of ColdFusion
ColdFusion, developed by Allaire, is a complete Web application
server for developing and delivering scalable e-business applications.
The ColdFusion solution consists of two related packages:
ColdFusion Studio – Tightly
integrated with ColdFusion Server, ColdFusion Studio provides
visual programming, database, and debugging tools for building
sophisticated Web applications.
ColdFusion Server – ColdFusion
Server offers all the runtime services for delivering your
e-business applications built on a highly scalable and open
architecture.
ColdFusion uses a tag-based, server scripting language that
is ideal for programming Web applications. Processed entirely
on the server, the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) cleanly
integrates with HTML for user interface and XML for data exchange.
Both open and extensible, CFML supports more than 70 server-side
tags, 200 functions, and 800 third-party components. In addition,
ColdFusion supports Java and C++.
