| Short Description: ColdFusion is a powerful server-side scripting language that allows users to interact with databases to produce dynamic pages. ColdFusion is a tag-based language and very easy to learn to use but also a powerful programming environment. At the end of this class, students will be able to create pages that display a requested set of records from the database. Students will be able to create forms that allow users to add, edit or delete records from the database, create data-driven applications using application, client and session variables, improve the processing of their data-driven web sites by creating user-defined functions and reusable components and include dynamic graphs from their database in their web applications. Book included. A 30-day trial is available for download |

ColdFusion Introduction:
ColdFusion is a powerful server-side scripting language that allows users to interact with databases to produce dynamic pages.

Students will be able to create forms that allow users to add, edit or delete records from the database. Students will be able to create data-driven applications using application, client and session variables. A good understanding of web page creation is useful but not necessary for this class. Students will need access to ColdFusion Server. A free evaluation version is available.
ColdFusion Advanced:
This class is a continuation of the Introduction to ColdFusion class. At the end of this class, students will be able to improve the processing of their data-driven web sites by creating user-defined functions and reusable components. Students will be able to include dynamic graphs from their database in their web applications. Students will be able to send email from their ColdFusion applications. Students will be able to create applications that gracefully recover from errors and will be able to package their data as XML for sending to other applications. Students will need access to ColdFusion Server. A free evaluation version is available.
