Mastering ColdFusion MX

Macromedia ColdFusion is the leading application server and development product for building interactive, database-driven websites, with more than 1 million users. The new version, MX, is a major upgrade to version 5, offering new XML functionality as well as integration with the other Macromedia web products (Flash MX and Dreamweaver). For the first time, the product is built on Java 2 Enterprise Edition, for better performance, but users do not need to be Java programmers to use ColdFusion. ColdFusion's chief competitors are ASP, JSP, and PHP, but CF is easier to use and has gained significant market share.
