Hello All

Hello, my name is Clint and I am the moderator of this forum.

I have been developing with ColdFusion since 1998 and I am currently a consultant doing all sorts of web development.

Thanks and ask away.

Its great to see that we now have a new moderator (yay!) and a new forum, deciated to Cold Fusion.

Also we should be having a cold fusion article up very soon, so keep an eye out for it.

hey could u explain to me what coldfusion actually is and do ?

Ive heard of it but never got to play with it !!

I'd love to see some simple CF code snippets.. I've never really seen the source of a CF page..

ColdFusion is a web application server that is similar to ASP and PHP.

Its purpose is to create websites and web applications. It has a tag based scripting language(it also a script based side as well) that allows people who know HTML to quickly pick up ColdFusion.

The current version, ColdFusion MX, is a Java based application server that runs on multiple platforms such as, Windows,Linux, and Solaris. It can also connect to just about any database out there.

Here is a simple snippet of setting a variable and then outputting it:

<cfset myvar = "Hello World!">
<cfoutput>#myvar#</cfoutput>

Its that simple. Of course, you can get as complicated as you want to though.. and I will have some upcoming articles that will go from real simple to advanced so stay tuned.

Just curious, but Clint are you affiliated with Air1 at all?
