Day 8. Understanding ColdFusion Studio
So far, you've created all your ColdFusion templates using a plain old text editor. Text editors are like the survivalist tools of ColdFusion coding—for what they lack in fancy features, they're always available, they use an interface with which you're already familiar, and they take up a miniscule amount of space on your hard drive. But now that you've grasped the basics of CF coding, it's time to introduce you to a powerful tool that will help you quickly build templates and troubleshoot your code—ColdFusion Studio.
