What timing. Turns out ColdFusion (cfm) celebrates its 10th birthday this month.

I am working on a project in which I create a small intranet Web site to help the organization’s project managers find what they need without going to a dozen sites. Since the organization we’re working with uses ColdFusion for its pages, I decided to go that route rather than plain ol’ .html.

Loading ColdFusion on your PC is a breeze. It’s a good idea to do this so you can preview the pages you’re working on without uploading the files to a server with ColdFusion. If you try to preview a cfm (ColdFusion file extension) file on your browser without loading ColdFusion, you’ll see the code instead of the design. Download ColdFusion from Macromedia (free trial download) and click on the file to install it. Follow along. It should not have anything complicated in the process.
