A product created by Allaire Corporation of Cambridge, Mass. (in 2001, Allaire merged with Macromedia) that includes a server and a development toolset designed to integrate databases and Web pages. With Cold Fusion, a user could enter a zip code on a Web page, and the server would query a database for information on the nearest movie theaters and present the results in HTML form. Cold Fusion Web pages include tags written in Cold Fusion Markup Language (CFML) that simplify integration with databases and avoid the use of more complex languages like C++ to create translating programs. See application server.
Cold Fusion Documentation Collection of Cold Fusion documentation from Allaire, including technical documents and white papers.
House of Fusion Resource page for Cold Fusion programmers with links to important information, CFX tags, code, and modules.

These questions and more are answered in an extensive tutorial that cuts through the marketing hype and explains the basics of key server types.
