ColdFusion is as interesting as is its name sounds. This programming language, created in 1996, is based on standard HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) but is used to create dynamic web pages. ColdFusion allows developers to create web applications with a wide variety of functionality.

A ColdFusion application is a collection of web pages, similar to a static web site. The pages in a ColdFusion application include server-side ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) in addition to HTML, which is what differentiates it from static web pages. CFML allows you to control the way your application functions, integrate server technologies, and dynamically generate the content that is returned to the web browser. Essentially, ColdFusion makes it easy for a website to select information out of a database and display it on a web site.
