Macromedia® ColdFusion® MX Evaluator’s Guide

EVOLUTION OF COLDFUSION

Since its first release in 1995, MacromediaColdFusionhas been a pioneer in rapid

Internet application development. By combining an approachable and productive server

scripting environment with enterprise connectivity and built-in capabilities like search and

charting, ColdFusion helped bring web application development into the mainstream.

ColdFusion is one of the most popular web development technologies on the Internet – at

use in more than 75 of the Fortune 100 and providing the power behind over 18 million

pages on the public Internet. With the help of ColdFusion, companies like Allied Office

Products, Bank of America, Boeing, FAO Schwarz, Hertz, Jaguar, and Simon & Schuster

have built customer service applications, online publishing systems, e-learning solutions,

business reporting applications, business-to-business extranets, and much more.

With each new release, ColdFusion has evolved to meet the changing requirements of

developers and IT managers—supporting emerging standards and integrating with the

latest technologies, while maintaining a leadership position in ease of use and

productivity. The latest release of ColdFusion continues in this tradition, yet also marks a

major milestone in the evolution of the product.

New Standards Support

Web development has evolved dramatically in the past few years. Support for standards-

based architectures has become more important than ever. ColdFusion MX has

responded. ColdFusion MX has been completely re-architected to run on the Java

platform. ColdFusion MX includes an embedded J2EE™ 1.3 compliant Java application

server, can run on WebSphere and WebLogic, and has robust support for Microsoft .NET

products and technologies. With ColdFusion MX, users can benefit from the rapid

application development capabilities of ColdFusion while fully leveraging the power of the

Java and .NET platforms.

XML and Web Services

XML and web services are two of the most important Internet standards for application

development. By providing standard mechanisms for exchanging data and exposing

functionality, XML and web services are revolutionizing the way IT organizations build

applications. ColdFusion MX offers native support for handling XML data and for

publishing and consuming web services. As a result, developers now have an incredibly

easy way to take advantage of these powerful new technologies in their applications.

Rich Internet Applications

The way developers are delivering applications via the Internet is also changing. Users are

finding that web applications that rely on HTML are limited and often don’t offer the best

customer experience. Rich Internet applications that use Macromedia Flashinterfaces

make it possible to deliver much more compelling customer experiences. With native

connectivity to the Flash Player and tight integration with the application development

capabilities in Macromedia Flash MX, ColdFusion MX will do for rich Internet applications

what it did for rapid web application development – bring it to the mainstream.

A Powerful Combination

Together with Macromedia’s industry-leading development tools – Macromedia

DreamweaverMX and Macromedia Flash MX – ColdFusion MX is ushering in the next

generation of the Internet, enabling developers to deliver richer, more powerful

applications while maintaining a high level of productivity and efficiency.

COLDFUSION MX CUSTOMER PROFILE

Internet applications are now prevalent in virtually every modern organization. Fortune

500 companies, small and medium-size businesses, government agencies, universities

and non-governmental agencies alike have seized the opportunity to automate their

businesses, improve their communications, and explore new market opportunities with

the help of Internet applications. ColdFusion MX supports these organizations by

providing a highly productive environment and cost-effective solution for building and

managing Internet applications.

While the roles and backgrounds of ColdFusion users are as varied as the companies

they work for, they typically fall into one of three groups.

Web Application Developers

Web application developers are the individuals who build the back end to every

Internet application. Their primary emphasis is on developing the necessary business

logic and database interaction required to implement productive web applications. As

the importance of Internet applications to businesses has grown, these developers

find themselves under increasing pressure to deliver more complex applications that

are also intuitive to use and based on industry standards.

These individuals choose ColdFusion MX because it supports industry standards

while also enabling them to maintain a high level of development productivity. By

providing access to powerful technologies like XML, web services, Java, and .NET

through an intuitive server scripting environment, ColdFusion MX enables web

application developers to deliver better results with less effort.

Professional Web Developers

Professional web developers have traditionally focused on static (HTML only) website

development. Yet the volume of content they need to manage is rapidly outgrowing

their ability to maintain it. Moreover, their customers are increasingly demanding more

feature-rich sites than can be delivered with static web pages. They are looking for

interactivity, personalization, and a simplified way to manage website content.

ColdFusion MX addresses this need by providing an easy to learn and highly

productive server scripting environment for creating rich Internet applications. Fully

integrated with the industry-leading Dreamweaver MX development environment,

ColdFusion MX enables professional web developers to easily get started on the path

to Internet applications that are both richer in functionality and easier to maintain than

static websites.

Macromedia Flash Developers

Experienced users of Macromedia Flash are creating interactive websites and rich

client applications using the powerful design and programming tools in the

Macromedia Flash MX authoring environment. As the use of Macromedia Flash

expands, these developers are being asked to build data-driven websites using

Macromedia Flash and to create more usable application interfaces using the rich

client environment provided by the Macromedia Flash Player.

ColdFusion MX addresses the needs of this community through tight integration with

Macromedia Flash MX. With native connectivity to the Flash Player and support for

server-side ActionScript, ColdFusion MX provides the ideal environment for

integrating Macromedia Flash interfaces with back-end data and applications. This

enables Macromedia Flash developers to easily integrate their work with that of

application developers or to develop entire dynamic solutions on their own.
