Welcome to the wonderful world of dynamic programming with ColdFusion \. The purpose of this book is to jump-start developers into the ColdFusion \ programming language from a **MODERN** perspective and a focus on best practices, object orientation, and tooling. ColdFusion is not the same as it was 20 years ago; yes it's more than 20 years old!
It's dynamic, vibrant, modern, fluent, and functional! Let's begin our adventure into the world of **MODERN** ColdFusion \.
