Welcome to CF. You are on your way and in the right direction. I would
suggest, before you do any 'major' reading on the subject, that:
1. First you create a very simple .cfm page and test to verify your
installation is working.
Open a text editor, type in "<cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>" and save
it as index.cfm in the webroot of your local site.
Open that new page in a browser and verify that you do not see the
actual text you typed in, but you see the current time in 'timestamp'
format.
2. Go to a good online tutorial site and follow the steps exactly so that
you can get a feel for the language.
I have heard some good things about http://cflearn.com/
3. If you are an experienced web developer, take a page you have built in
another language (PHP, .NET, ASP, etc) and translate its functionality into
ColdFusion.
Feel free to ask any questions of us here. This list and the house of
fusion's CF-Newbie list can be very helpful to you.
Good Luck!!
William
