Product Description

From the Manufacturer

For Web-application developers and IT project managers, each day brings the challenge of keeping up with the ever-growing demand for Internet applications. Users not only want more applications, but they also want these applications to do more. But the more features and functionality developers build into Web applications, the more difficult they are to debug and tune. With Adobe ColdFusion 8, you can build compelling, robust applications that meet users’ demanding requirements more quickly and easily. Plus, because Adobe ColdFusion 8 is the fastest ColdFusion version ever, you can realize immediate performance gains--without any changes to the application code.

See exactly what is happening in every application, identify and fix bottlenecks before deployment, and tune the server for maximum performance. Use new debugging features that make it easier to debug code that does not run in a browser. Deploy Internet applications on leading J2EE application servers and smoothly integrate the applications into virtually any enterprise environment. And make users more productive with robust, multimedia-rich applications that run faster than ever before.

Product highlights:

• Create applications in less time with fewer lines of code.
• Realize significant out-of-the-box performance increases for existing Adobe ColdFusion applications.
• Resolve bottlenecks quickly and tune applications for optimal performance.
• Increase end-user productivity with richer, more robust applications.
• Integrate Internet applications into virtually any enterprise environment.

Top reasons to upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion 8 Standard

• Experience out-of-the-box performance gains: because Adobe ColdFusion 8 is the fastest version of the software ever, you can experience out-of-the-box gains in performance for every application--without any changes to the underlying code.
• Tune the server for faster performance: see exactly what is happening in every application, identify and fix bottlenecks before deployment, and tune the server for maximum performance using the new ColdFusion 8 Server Monitor.
• Enhance end-user experiences and productivity: create personalized, multimedia-rich applications in Adobe Flex or Ajax; let users interact with PDF forms; deliver more compelling, structured reports; and enable users to view high-quality, on-demand presentations that include animation, audio, and video.
• Smoothly integrate Internet applications into virtually any enterprise environment: Make Adobe ColdFusion 8 applications the hub of all enterprise resources thanks to support for both Java and .NET objects. Leverage integration with Microsoft Exchange Server to enable ColdFusion 8 applications to access calendars, tasks, and contacts.
• Create powerful Ajax applications quickly and simply: generate a complete Ajax data-management application without writing a single line of code and leverage powerful Ajax user interface controls, such as rich text editors, data grids, tab navigators, and more.
• Easily debug application code: set breakpoints, watch variables, and step through code, making it easier to debug code that does not run in a browser, such as CFCs, Web services, and remote calls to Flex applications.
• Deploy applications natively on leading server platforms: Let Adobe ColdFusion 8 applications run natively on leading J2EE application servers, including IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, and JBoss.
• Implement advanced ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) features: use ColdFusion component (CFC) interfaces and serialization, SFTP, JavaScript style operators, and argument collections for tags.

This review is from: Adobe Coldfusion Standard 8.0 Upgrade (From CSTD 6 Or 7) (CD-ROM)

The concept behind ColdFusion when Allaire built it was brilliant, but the program was somewhat hacky. When Macromedia bought it they made it a professional 'must have' and easy to program product for any serious web application developer. Now, with ColdFusion 8, under Adobe and merging with other Adobe technologies, the integration with PDF, .NET, Exchange Server Mail, and image rendering as a single, simple cf tag is pure genius. ColdFusion 8 is to Web Development what WYSIWYG is to Web Design.
