Description:
Macromedia ColdFusion 5 combines an intuitive, tag-based language, rich visual tools, and a proven, reliable Web application server to give you a fast and easy way to build and deploy powerful Web applications. The subscription included with this product entitles you to receive every release and update to this product for two years from the date of purchase. At the heart of every ColdFusion application is ColdFusion Server, a powerful Web application server. It combines an open, extensible architecture that integrates easily with existing systems, and built-in application and infrastructure services that help you present information elegantly. The Professional version is best for moderate-size Web sites and departmental applications; for larger-size Web sites and companies, ColdFusion Enterprise should be considered.ColdFusion supports a powerful server-side scripting language, ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), which is extremely easy to learn and cleanly integrates with all popular Web languages and technologies. ColdFusion works with multitier architectures through COM, CORBA, and EJB integration. You can also easily extend it with new components created with Java Servlets, Java classes, or C/C++. The features new to this version include the ability to create reusable functions to accelerate development, and to easily integrate data from heterogeneous sources by merging and querying data in memory using standard SQL. And now you can quickly detect and diagnose server errors with built-in server reporting and the new Log File Analyzer. Create professional-quality charts and graphs from queried data without leaving the ColdFusion environment, and index and search up to 250,000 documents with optimized performance. This new version also allows you to create professional-quality tabular reports from queried data and applications, and to take advantage of dramatically improved server performance and reduced memory usage to deliver faster, more scalable applications.
