Coldfusion is a tool for creating database driven websites…which basically means u can build a site for clients that they can update themselves… Download it…and try the tut’s… 🙂 I have been considering looking into it myself… [currently i use ASP]… [http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/](http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/) Cheerio’ ZERO HERO… ---

Make it comunicate with mySQL database and cold fusion server to make an e-commerce site! Lets just say it makes a site dynamic instead of static! Cold Fusion isn’t bought for the scripting langauge its bought for the program…its like having Actionscript and no Flash Program…wouldn’t work well would it? ---

If you are looking to make dynamic, database driven websites I would recommend ‘ASP’…there are a lot more tut’s and help out there… [http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/](http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/) Dreamweaver ‘n’ UltraDev r now one \>\>\> Dreamweaver MX Cheerio’ ZH…
