2. Cold Fusion
Getting Started with Cold
Fusion…

3. What is ColdFusion
 ColdFusion is “A rapid server scripting
environment for creating rich internet
applications."
 ColdFusion is a Web Application
Server that executes scripts which are
written in CFML (ColdFusion Markup
Language).

4. WHY COLD FUSION?

5. Advantages
 Ease of Development
 Rapid application development (RAD).
ColdFusion abstracts complex, low-
level programming tasks, such as
establishing connectivity with a mail
server or querying a database, with
simple HTML-like tags.
 Available for a broad range of popular
operating systems and web servers.

6. ColdFusion Flow
Accessing a website

7. ColdFusion Flow
Explained
 A web browser makes a request to a web server for a
template with a .cfm or .cfc extension (or another
custom configured extension).
 The web server receives the request and forwards it to
the ColdFusion MX Application Server.
 The ColdFusion MX Application Server parses the
CFML template and processes the tags and functions
accordingly, interacting with other services, such as
data sources or mail servers, as necessary.
 The ColdFusion MX Application Server combines its
dynamic output with the static HTML and CSS (and
JavaScript, if any) in the template and passes the whole
page back to the web server.
 The web server passes the dynamically generated
content back to the client machine's web browser.

8. ABOUT DATA TYPES

9. Data Types
 Boolean
 Strings
 Numbers
 Date/time objects
 Lists
 Arrays
 Structures
 Query objects

10. ABOUT VARIABLES

11. Variables in CFML
 Variable names must begin with a
letter, an underscore, or the Unicode
currency symbol ($) and can contain
only
letters, numbers, underscores, and
Unicode currency symbols. Variable
names can't contain spaces.
 ColdFusion variable names aren't
case sensitive.

12. Assigning Values to
Variables
 <cfset x = 8>
 <cfset y = x+12>
 <cfset Name = “Ankur">
 <cfset x = Name>
 <cfset Authenticated = true>
 <cfset TheDate = DateFormat(Now(
),'mm/dd/yyyy')>

13. Variable Scope
 Local
 Form
 URL
 Query
 File
 Cookie
 Application
 Session
 Client

14. ABOUT EXPRESSIONS &
OPERATORS.

15. Expressions
 <cfset x = 10*(3+2)>
 ……

16. Operators
Arithmetic :
 Performs arithmetic operations such as sign changes,
addition, subtraction, etc., on numeric values.
Comparison:
 Compares two values and returns a Boolean true/false.
String:
 There is only one string operator in the CFML
language. The ampersand (&) concatenates strings.
Boolean:
 Also known as logical operators, Boolean operators
perform connective and negation operations and return
Boolean true/false values.

17. Blurting it out
 To output the contents or results of a
ColdFusion expression, we use
<cfoutput> tag.
 cfoutput is a paired tag, which means
that it has both start and end tags.
 Live Example

18. ABOUT CONDITIONAL
PROCESSING.

19. Conditional Processing
 cfif, cfelseif, and cfelse
<cfif expression>
HTML and CFML...
<cfelseif expression>
HTML and CFML...
<cfelse>
HTML and CFML...
</cfif>
