ColdFusion Basics

Before you start building applications in a language, it is always good to learn about it's basic procedures and features. In a way programming is like building a house, you have to start with a good foundation before you can add the walls and roof, and you should finish the house before adding the "pretty" touches like paint, wallpaper and gardens.

With this in mind, I recommend reading through this section in the order it's presented. Think of it as a mini-course in ColdFusion. If you prefer to learn by jumping straight into programs or if you have something specific you need to get done, then I recommend reading the Intro to ColdFusion and then jumping over to the Code Samples.
