Day 6. Creating Your First Web Application

If you're working your way through this book sequentially, so far you've been very patient as I prattled on about intangibles such as the theories behind ColdFusion, how it queries a database, and so on. At this point, you're probably a little antsy to start building your own Web application. I promise not to let you down—this chapter draws on concepts we've already discussed and I walk you through each step of building a Web application. We'll cover

  • A sample real-world application

  • Preparing a client's database

  • Constructing the application

  • Previewing your work

  • Troubleshooting basic problems
