Everything that William said and a few other items.

The adobe site has a quick start guide:

The developer center is a good place to start as well

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)

-----------
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

Here are some Video tutes on installing

--------------------
Dreamweaver $399 retail (w/Free evaluation)- $200 - $400 at various online
stores and ebay. It is an excellent tool for web development.

Hope this helps.
Happy coding!
