Cold Fusion

ColdFusion is a powerful and sophisticated markup language that encapsulates the functionality of languages like Visual Basic, Java and C++. With ColdFusion we can deploy powerful web applications and web services quicker and with fewer lines of code than ASP, PHP, and JSP.

ColdFusion allows us to build powerful Web applications which integrate with key server technologies such as relational databases and SMTP e-mail. It offers a straightforward server side markup language, a powerful application server, and a complete framework for Web applications. ColdFusion is an excellent choice for e-commerce sites.

A ColdFusion Web application begins with dynamic pages instead of static HTML documents. A dynamic page is simply a file that contains both hyper text markup language (HTML) and the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML). Instead of being sent directly to the user’s browser, the dynamic pages are pre processed by the ColdFusion application server which generates an HTML page that is then sent to the user’s browser.

ColdFusion takes care of client state management, security, application deployment, database connections, and the other low level tasks. CFML is to the Web server what HTML is to the browser.

When we develop with ColdFusion we design your application in the same way that your users will use it...as pages. This approach makes the applications easier to develop, understand, and maintain.
