[thelist] Cold Fusion?

[Chris Johnston]

Tutorials:
Try Webmonkey for ColdFusion tutorials, they have some very simple ones to
get you started and then moved up to some more complex ones.

Hosting:
Go to Allaire and download a copy of ColdFusion Express. It a free version
of the server, it is slightly stripped down, but if you are just learning it
will have everything you need to learn. I have heard of one ColdFusion
Hosting site that is free, I just can't remember what it is now. But my
recommendation is to host it yourself, it is really simple, just make sure
that you have TCP/IP set up on your machine or it won't work.

I would definitely recommend getting a copy of Homesite. Best code editor
out there in my opinion.

Hi all,

What do I *have* to have in order to just try Cold Fusion to see if I would
be
interested in learning it?

I know I need a hoster that supports CF, but do I *have* to buy Cold Fusion
Studio in order to try programming with it? I don't want to spend $500 bucks
on
something that may easily be thrown on the heap of Perl, Javascript, and
Java
programming books I have given up on ;)

I'm more inclined to the graphic design/layout/HTML side of web site
development, but I'd like to get some kind of programming language under my
belt. Since I've only recently begun working with the NT server platform (I
have
been all *NIX since I started designing), I am looking into the ASP
language.
However, I am seeing 'Cold Fusion' popping up alot, and am somewhat
interested
in it. I've got a gist of what it is, but confused on the tools needed.

BTW, any "CF for dummies" type tutorial links or any sites that are somewhat
like cgi-resources.com (only with CF apps) would be much appreciated ;)

Thanks,
Gina
