Course description
Overview: This course is designed for the non-programmer. Individuals with programming or scripting
experience probably will not need to cover some of the information in this book to get started with
ColdFusion development. Students taking this course should be experienced with HTML, Internet
concepts, SQL fundamentals, and database fundamentals. This course introduces students to the syntax,
functions, tags, and possible development solutions they're likely to encounter as they begin to develop
ColdFusion applications.
Prerequisites: This course is designed for the experienced computer user who has an understanding of
Internet functionality and fairly extensive experience with HTML. The target student should also
understand database and SQL basics. We strongly recommend that all students considering this course
should first take
ColdFusion: Creating Database-driven Web Sites, Level 1. Many vital concepts are
omitted from this book because they were covered in Level 1 of this course series. A student who is not experienced with HTML, SQL basics, database fundamentals, and ColdFusion fundamentals, should take the following Element K courses before proceeding with this course:
•
HTML 4.0 Level 1
•
HTML 4.0 Level 2
•
SQL Fundamentals
•
Introduction to MS Access 97
•
ColdFusion: Creating Database-driven Web Sites, Level 1
Delivery method: Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured handson activities. Benefits: Students will learn how to create dynamic Web sites that interact with databases and user input. What's next: ColdFusion: Creating Database-driven Web Sites, Level 2 is the second course in this series. Students who want to continue to after this course can take ColdFusion: Creating Databasedriven Web Sites, Level 3. IMPORTANT Students, training centers, etc do not need to purchase the full, enterprise or professional edition of ColdFusion to use this book. We’ve developed the course using HomeSite, Microsoft’s Personal Web Server, and ColdFusion Express, a freely available version of ColdFusion. Each of these applications can be found for free on the Web, although it’s suggested that anyone using this book purchase HomeSite from Allaire. This setup was chosen because it opens up the course to anyone who wants to learn ColdFusion, regardless of their ability to purchase the $3000 version ColdFusion. ColdFusion: Creating Database-driven Web Sites, Level 2 Performance-based objectives Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. The concepts and tasks in this book are designed to provide the student with the skills necessary to create a variety of applications, in addition to the specific applications they'll create. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: • Create dynamic tables to output query results, apply date functions to create a date stamp, and
implement a drill-down application. • Create an application that updates existing database records and records the date and time of
modifications. • Create an application that inserts new records and another that deletes existing records. • Enable form field validation with a variety of methods, and re-populate a form with submitted
data. • Create a keyword search application that can handle a variety of user criteria. Course content Lesson 1: Design considerations Choosing the Right Formatting Creating dynamic tables Exploring CFTABLE Creating a Date Stamp ColdFusion functions The Now( ) function The DateFormat( ) function Applying masks Creating drill-down applications Passing URL parameters Passing multiple parameters Outputting images dynamically Storing image filenames Managing "data gaps" with conditional expressions The Trim( ) function The Len( ) function Lesson 2: Updating records Creating database front-ends Populating form controls with existing data Populating text fields Populating a textarea field Using hidden form fields to pass variables Updating records with CFUPDATE Recording the date and time of an update Capturing and storing date values Updating data not passed from a form The TimeFormat( ) function Performing SQL updates Lesson 3: Inserting and deleting records Inserting records with <CFINSERT> Inserting data into multiple tables Inserting data conditionally Using the "AutoNumber" data type to create ID values The CreateODBCDateTime( ) function Using the SQL INSERT INTO statement Deleting records Confirming a deletion request with JavaScript Lesson 4: Validating data entry fields Exploring client-side vs. server-side validation <CFFORM> and <CFINPUT> Embedding form validation rules Applying multiple rules A more customized approach to form field validation Using conditional expressions to test for valid data Applying <CFABORT> Initializing variables with <CFPARAM> Re-using a variable Testing for multiple conditions Comparison operators The IsNumeric( ) function The IsDate( ) function Redirecting a user with <CFLOCATION> Passing parameters via <CFLOCATION> The IsDefined( ) function The URLEncodedFormat( ) function Re-populating form after submission Re-using forms Nesting CFOUTPUT blocks Passing multiple parameters via CFLOCATION Alternative methods for re-populating forms Lesson 5: Creating a keyword search application Database search applications Exploring the Verity Search engine Looping with <CFLOOP> Index loops ColdFusion list functions The ListGetAt( ) function The ListLen( ) function Creating dynamic SQL statements Testing applications; enabling ColdFusion debugging Appendix A: ColdFusion Configuration Whitepaper Introduction ColdFusion Express and PWS High-volume sites Appendix B: Installation Whitepaper Introduction Web server installation Additional information: ColdFusion Express ColdFusion Express doesn't support all of the tags available with the full versions of ColdFusion server, the Professional and Enterprise editions. The most fundamental tags are supported, but as you continue to learn ColdFusion development, you should consult the CFML documentation that comes with all ColdFusion products. This documentation will provide you with more information on all the ColdFusion tags at your disposal. You can access this documentation via ColdFusion Administrator. Also, there are over 200 functions available in ColdFusion 4.0. Of course, we can't cover them all - this course presents certain ColdFusion functions that are best suited for the given task. Your own development efforts are likely to require the use of other ColdFusion functions. ColdFusion 4.0 Express is a freely available, pared-down version of ColdFusion. Because of its availability to anyone interested in learning ColdFusion, and the fact that it supports many of the most fundamental ColdFusion tags, this course was developed with ColdFusion 4.0 Express. Anything developed for ColdFusion Express will work fine on the full versions of ColdFusion Server.
