Advanced ColdFusion MX

Once you have mastered ColdFusion's basics, it is time to discover its more advanced options. We will explore the many methods of reusing code (including <cfinclude>, custom tags and stored procedures). Using session variables and cookies, we will create a Password Protected section of the site to increase security.

We will teach you how to predict and prevent errors so your users will never see an ugly error page. Using Regular Expressions, we will perform advanced Form Validation. Although ColdFusion does allow for quick an easy development, it still is a robust, powerful language. We will explore programming concepts including loops, arrays, structures and two methods for writing User-Defined Functions (UDFs).
