Getting started

What will you need? Well first you will need to download a copy of ColdFusion MX Server - Developer Edition. This is the 'free' version of their server product that you can install on your own machine to play with and do development.

Then you need an editor to write the code with. If you already have a copy of Dreamweaver then you are set. You can also use any Text / HTML editor to program in ColdFusion. CFEclipse is popular amongst many developers and is open source. It is a plug in for the Eclipse platform. Add your favourite browser to the mix and you are ready to start ColdFusion coding.
