    You can find more information on ColdFusion at http://www.allaire.com (the makers of ColdFusion) Or http://www.devshed.com (a resource site)

    The "m" in ".cfm" is "Markup" as ColdFusion is also known as ColdFusion Markup Language.

    01?. What is it?

    - its another scripting language built upon a database server

    02?. How do you code it?
    - it looks surprisingly like html, and it is by far the easiest language to script in - companies love it

    03?. What can it do?
    - its like PHP-mysql combo

    04?. Does it resemble any other lanuages?
    - only html really....if you are a seasoned programmer, you may be frustrated by its dumbed down coding style..

    05?. What does the `m` in *.cfm mean?
    - see above

    It costs $1500 for a liscence. At one time they gave away a 'lite' version for free with the 7 most popular features. They stopped doing that however, so you have to buy it...
