Let Me Tell You Why Coldfusion Rocks

Why ColdFusion

ColdFusion is the fastest and easiest way to build complex web applications. ColdFusion application development involves lower cost, less development time compared to any other web technology available in the market. ColdFusion is available in two editions: Standard and Enterprise. ColdFusion Enterprise Edition is the perfect solution for web application development, it delivers multiple web applications on one or more servers or on existing J2EE application server installations. It has all the capabilities of ColdFusion Standard Edition plus special features for managing multi-application environments.

ColdFusion makes life easy

Most things in ColdFusion are single operations. Why I mean "single operations" Most technology solutions don't integrate at language level unlike ColdFusion. Talk to an LDAP server, send an email, generate PDF's, fetch data from stored procedure, file operations, http request...what NOT! You are just away from ColdFusion tag call...

ColdFusion integrates with lots of technology

ColdFusion comes equipped to talk with LDAP, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Office or a java portlet server. Need to integrate some Java or.NET project into your application? ColdFusion can talk to either. Need to talk to printers or cell phones via SMS? ColdFusion can do it. The great thing here is that I don't have to search for and rely on third-party code to do so. I can if I want to but for a lot of these commonly used technologies, ColdFusion already talks to them.

ColdFusion is economical

Sure there are open source clones out there, and if you like the rest of what I have to say, but can't get over this, feel free to check them out.

ColdFusion is a productive language. If you look at Total Cost of Ownership versus similar products, you'll see that the cost of licensing is a small part.

Development and maintenance is the largest chunk of TCO. Every solution pays this cost, and a language that is more productive will be cheaper in the long run, despite upfront licensing costs.
