I was wondering if anyone else out there is using ColdFusion. I just started using it so i can build a site for my grandmother. PHP is good in all but ColdFusion is just so easy with Dreamweaver.
If you have used it post some stuff you have done. (just a link) I just want to see some more things i can do with ColdFusion.

I've never seen coldfusion used in a professional environment (or any other environment for that matter).
Have you tried look at the tutorial database for ideas?

Ya i've looked through them all.
A lot of big companies use ColdFusion. Boeing uses it or even Macromedia (duh) lol
It seems good and a lot fast at creating code. I think the major downside to it is the hosting cost more and it takes more to use it. (ex. either a RDS or development server on your computer) I have been playing around with it. I will get some small little scripts up on my server this weekend.

CFML is great. I know it...decided to learn it banking on the fact that since Adobe bought Macromedia, there would be some bigger support for it. For a tag based language....its pretty sweet. Easy to learn and use too. The only problem that I have heard with it is some possible security issues.
Have you looked into database stuff? If you want a decent project to learn some stuff in, try making a simple forum, CMS or somthing along those lines.
Good luck with the coldfusion...dont listen to the people who tell you it sucks *points up*. If you like it, use it!

eldiablo sounds like he has absolutely no clue on the web development world... so i'd ignore his response to be honest as its not constructive at all...
Cold fusion is used in multimedia companies, and is used out there... its not used as widely as PHP and ASP, but has a small chunk of users out there - and its your choice as to what languages you develop/choose to use

One of our "older" webcastin applications was based on coldfusion and it always worked very well.
ElDiablo.. sorry mate but you should first have a look and work with it before you discriminate anything you don't know.
Yes Coldfusion is a lot easier to learn but you also need a Coldfusion server, which is not available everywhere.

ColdFusion definitely has availability issues, but if you run your own server... why not. It's a very powerful language which has most, if not all, of the capabilities of PHP with a lot less code. Less code saves bandwidth. And chances are if you have your own server, you are interested in saving on bandwidth costs.
If you like it, use it. Don't listen to the kids who have no experience with it. There are a lot of people out there who are very loyal to what they learned first, be it ASP or PHP. I think learning all of the languages you can will put you in a way better situation than being so bias towards one.
