musical-palace 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2004 I guess there are not too many coldfusion fans out there...Nevertheless, it's a very cool language. Did anyone ever go on a website written all in "flash" and you wondered how cool that was and how cool it would be to make something like that and then write a topic about how easy it was....yeah....that site was written in coldfusion in flash....a very nice language for the 3d maniacs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinfo 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 The one thing that I think Coldfusion isn't popular to webmasters it the lack of support from most mainstream webhosts. I mean you have to signup for some special deals before they give you Cf support, with additional charge at that. Also, Coldfusion is harldy existent among free webhosts, and that stymies the desire to learn the language.But I agree its great for dynamic and interactive sites.

Shackman 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 But I agree its great for dynamic and interactive sites.Acctually, if you are looking for a dynamic and interactive site, Java script should be good enough. Its code can be embeded into a .html file and no server side support is needed. What's more, Internet Explorer supports Javascript.Php is cool too. PHP is very useful for companies and stuff. It can be used to submit files, forms, create an interative website( as in leaving a message 'live' on a webpage) and so on...Javascript is not too hard to learn. If you learn Javascript, it should not be hard to pick up other languages cause Javascript is very similar to languages such as C++ and C.But as everyone says, HTML should be your first programming language!-Shackman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chinfo 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Coldfusion is a server-side scripting environment like PHP, Perl/CGI, etc, and is associated with Macromedia as Visual Basic and ASP are to Microsoft. It's specifically tailored for dynamic webpages especially for e-commerce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
