Hi there...

I would just like to know if anyone can maybe help me with some resources on building ColdFusion based websites in Dreamweaver.

I want to create my own forum (from scratch) on my website. It can be a very basic forum.

I also want to integrate an E-commerce interface as well for the products that I want to sell.

Can someone maybe supply me with some links or resourses that might help me to sucessfully develop my website PLEASE!!!
 
What version of Dreamweaver?

I have taken a look at these webpages, and found some useful information, but what I couldn't find is a working tutorial.

I would also consider buying a book on Dreamweaver and ColdFusion.

Thanx for looking up those websites Synergy!
 
I'll look up and let you know.
But doubt you'll get a "complete" tutorial.
I'll see what books I have too (Commercial PDF)
 
CF licence is fairly expensive... you know that right?

PHP is free and their are lots of tutorials out there... even thought you can't really compare with CF.
 
The main reason for using ColdFusion is because I can use my Access Databases with ColdFusion, whereas PHP you can only use MySQL (or mostly MySQL) driven databases. I don't really want to learn MySQL as I want to keep my development fairly simple. I am aware of the ColdFusion costs, and at this moment its not really a problem. If licensing becomes an issue, I can always convert to ASP.

Thanx for your posts...
 
I found your post quite strange... I have not found a single technology that is not supported in PHP. Upon investigation, PHP does support MS Access (through ODBC).

If this project is just for fun, I would say go for it. If not, you should seriously consider the licensing costs. Converting to ASP from CF is not a quick operation... it is basically a complete rewrite.

EDIT: I think you are referring to the SQL builder in Access. In the beginning I also used it extensively to build my SQL queries. Even after I stopped using MS Access, I continued porting my databases to Access so that I could use the SQL builder.

This project is for my own business that I have, and want to create some additional components like an e-Commerce side for purchasing of my products.

I know about the licensing costs of ColdFusion, so now I want to develop my project using PHP or ASP, but I am not sure which one would be the best to use.
