ColdFusion
ColdFusion is a Web scripting language that allows programmers to create database-backed Web interfaces relatively easily.
Advantages
- Speed of development: ColdFusion allows for the rapid development of database-backed Web interfaces.
Disadvantages
- Not good for large projects: Scripting languages like ColdFusion are not geared toward very complex applications.
- Cost and limitation: ColdFusion can be somewhat expensive and has relatively few modules if special features are needed. (In comparison, PHP and Perl have thousands of modules available for them.)
Choosing ColdFusion
It’s possible to create effective small-scale Web interfaces in ColdFusion. At WebINTENSIVE we prefer Java, PHP, and Perl.
