Foundation ColdFusion for Flash Support

Author(s): Fiaz Khan | Bryan Mahoney | et al

By combining Macromedia ColdFusion with Flash you can deliver web sites that have the in-your-face visual power of Flash and the seamless dynamic data handling capabilities of ColdFusion.

This book assumes you have a fairly good knowledge of Flash 5 while being a novice user of ColdFusion 5. The designer is led through chapters containing tutorials which progressively build to form a complete real-world case study, including how to create a fully-functioning message forum. The fundamentals of ColdFusion will be introduced particularly within the context of their use in a professional setting. 

ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is a tag-based web programming language that is very much like HTML in its look and feel - easy to learn and easy to use. You can deploy it creatively to build websites that live and breathe, updating and re-formatting in real-time without the need for rewrites. ColdFusion does it all for you. Combine this with an interactive Flash interface and you have the holy grail of dynamic data content flush with a user-aware and time-sensitive graphical feast.

Tag insight, code validation, support for cascading style sheets, integration with Dreamweaver UltraDev and more, all help to make ColdFusion Studio an ideal environment for developing web applications.
