ColdFusion 7

The new version of ColdFusion is out...version 7. The new version includes all kinds of good stuff like reports, charts, graphs, better XML integration and awesome integration with Flash. It's available from Macromedia, and it runs nicely with J2EE environments.

For those who have never used ColdFusion before, it's a tag-based language that allows you to make dynamic Web pages that are built on the back-end--on the server--and are delivered to the client--the Web browser. This can be data from a database like Microsoft Access or the freely-available MySQL. ColdFusion is written using Macromedia Dreamweaver and must be hosted on a Web server that supports ColdFusion. There are plenty of service providers you can sign up for that support ColdFusion.
