ColdFusion training
ColdFusion Training Overview
ColdFusion is a Web application server for Windows, Linux, and Solaris that makes it possible for you to quickly create database-driven Web applications on your Internet, Intranet, or Extranet site. ColdFusion is also a RAD (Rapid Application Development) technology which utilizes it's own tag-based language, CFML.
ColdFusion Training Audience
Web developers, Webmasters, computer programmers moving to the Web, and any persons responsible for the modification and enhancement of Internet, Intranet, or Extranet sites.
ColdFusion Training Prerequisites
- Basic familiarity with Web terminology
- Knowledge of the HTML tag set and syntax
- Basic knowledge of SQL (Select, Insert, Update, and Delete)
ColdFusion Training Learning Objectives
Our courseware is designed around class lectures, demonstrations, walkthroughs, the Ben Forta Web Application Construction Kit as a reference, and a class lab application development project, which together will teach you to:
- Set up the ColdFusion development environment
- Skillfully use common tags of the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML)
- Create applications to display, insert, and update data dynamically
- Create forms with client-side JavaScript validation generated by ColdFusion
- Learn modularity and best practices for code reuse
- Create applications to capture and process user-supplied data
- Incorporate ColdFusion-generated Java controls
- Use CFML and variables to perform conditional procedures
- Utilize common ColdFusion functions
- Learn best practices for application design
- Build a Web application during the three days which will give the programmer practical experience using all of the aforementioned skills as they are learned
At the end of three days, you will have the ColdFusion skills to immediately begin development of database driven Web pages.
