Overview:

ColdFusion is a complete server-side web application development suite develloped by Allaire for building dynamic web pages.  It is particuarly well-suited to e-business applications with support for all the tools needed, including strong security features.  ColdFusion is object-oriented, scalable and works across a wide variety of platforms and operating systems.

Like ASP, PHP and Python, ColdFusion can produce interactive web content on-the-fly using a markup language included within a web document which is interpreted and executed on the server.  ColdFusion incorporates all the tools, libraries and classes necessary to generate dynamic web pages.
