That's all you need to know to get you started with setting up in my opinion the best dev environement for CF developers, for both windows and mac. Ray Camden was the one who introduced this guide to me and it has changed things for me dramatically. Also, if you plan on using CFEclipse, use it for 2 weeks without going back to Homesite AT ALL! If you survive the 2 weeks, you're good to go! Good luck on your 2 week CFEclipse diet! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 2:24 PM Subject: RE: Concepts of Developing Locally with CFEclipse > If you're running any of the Windows professional versions (XP Pro etc.) > You > should either have installed or can install IIS..
