ColdFusion Training Overview

Accelebrate's Advanced ColdFusion training class teaches attendees the advanced ColdFusion language skills they need to build more powerful ColdFusion applications. Attendees learn how to reuse code through functions, components, and CF_ tags, how to store and manipulate data in arrays and structures, and how to handle errors and debug their site using CFERROR, try-catch-finally exception handling, and CFDUMP.

Location and Pricing

Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. To receive a customized proposal and price quote, please contact us.

Software Needed on Each PC

  • Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003
  • ColdFusion MX 6.1, 7, 8, or later - ColdFusion MX should be set up to run as a stand-alone server for purposes of the class

ColdFusion Training Objectives

  • To show attendees more of the core language fundamentals of CFML and CFScript, including the use of arrays, lists, and structures for storing data
  • To teach students how to efficiently reuse code through the use of CFINCLUDEs, functions, components, and CF_ tags.
  • To master techniques for handling errors and debugging code through the use of centralized error handling strategies, try-catch-finally blocks for exception handling, and CFDUMP for displaying variables
  • To teach attendees how to exchange data using WDDX and Web services
