Everything that William said and a few other items. The adobe site has a quick start guide: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/?navID=gettingstarted
The developer center is a good place to start as well http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/ An editor geared for CF is a good thing to have. The three most popular (and often debated) choices are (in no particular order) --------- Homesite/CFStudio (w/Free evaluation) ~ $100 No longer being actively developed by Adobe (CFStudio has been discontinued) but is a long time favorite of many in the community (myself included) http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/ ----------- CFEclipse Free and open source and VERY capable. My personal favorite. http://www.cfeclipse.org/ You will want to install the ColdFusion 8 Help Files and Extensions for Eclipse http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html Here are some Video tutes on installing http://www.cfeclipse.org/cfeclipsetv.cfm http://www.cfeclipse.org/cfeclipsetv.cfm -------------------- Dreamweaver $399 retail (w/Free evaluation)- $200 - $400 at various online stores and ebay. It is an excellent tool for web development. http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/ Hope this helps. Happy coding!
