Introduction / Additional Resources and Support

Subtitles of the Movie

Where can you go for additional resources and technical support for Cold Fusion? Well, there are tons and tons of places you can go out on the web. I am going to go into just a couple of them. If you do a good search on Google, Cold Fusion, cold space fusion (Cold Fusion), space minus energy because Cold Fusion of course is an energy source for the future because that's where they got the name. You should put that minus in because most or a lot of the links will be just about Cold Fusion energy sources, will talk about that so. You come with a lot of Cold Fusion programming resources. Let's start with forta.com/cf. It's got some information in here. Ben Forta is the author of a very good book - 'advanced Cold Fusion application development', and 'Cold Fusion application development'. I highly recommend you get those books. That's what I learned by. Another source is the Cold Fusion web ring, which is systemanage.com/cff/webring.html. And there is a bunch of sites listed in there if you say - view the Ring. View the Ring, you come to the Web Ring, and there's a lot of sites listed in here. In here, I found a site incredibly enough that hosts free Cold Fusion sites and their URL is freecfm.com. I have actually already set up a website on there for free. Literally took me two minutes from start to finish. Filled out a from, said that I wanted to have the free site, I said that I did not want to go for the upgrade at the bottom, and 'bodoom', I got to the control panel, I was able to upload through the file manager every element required for loading the home page. They include top and bottom, the image, the menu and the style sheet. Here it is: unbelievable - free Cold Fusion web hosting. It is limited though to this interface, as far as I can tell. You can contact them and find out if there is more that you can do, but you can edit them, you can rename files, the editor allows you to come in and actually just edit it. You can copy and paste new code, if you've edited offline - pretty neat. Another site is cftipsplus. They have a newsletter - you can check out Cold Fusion coding through email. At cfcomet.com, there's a lot of free utilities that you can download, goes on and on and on. Of course, the best place to go is to allaire.com, and they have support area with message forms - message forms are very helpful, Reply to a support message regarding Cold Fusion money minutes, and they're (you know) experts in it. Some work for Allaire, some work for firms that do exclusive Cold Fusion hosting and programming. The firms are very active - you see their people posting quite often. This is a resource that I go to quite often, very often. And of course, like I said go to Google, do a search for Cold Fusion, not energy, top of the list is Allaire, and then various other sites. Of course you can always come to my site out here, freecm.com/m/michaelmuller. I will try and keep something up to date there every once in a while, or you can come to montaguema.net and my contact will always be down at the bottom if you have any questions. This site will for sure be up for several years. Not so sure about this site. Another resource is greenriver.org. It's a development firm that does a lot of Cold Fusion application development. If you go to the staff page and click on courses, you see a link in here Marlboro.edu/cfcourses. Its not actually an online course, it's the materials for the course, and it's pretty interesting - lot of good stuff here. Cold Fusion serve email, so you can check email. tty interesting - lot of good stuff here. Cold Fusion serve email, so you can check email.
