In this section, we'll review how ColdFusion can access data and use it in a variety of ways. How ColdFusion Provides Data Science Through Coding
Now that you've had a brief introduction to the product, let's take a look at how ColdFusion can be utilized in data science applications. This is a "WYSIWYG" ("what you see is what you get") editor that allows site authors to make changes from a GUI, rather than solely through code. The ability to manipulate most types of filesįinally, CFStudio was a major addition to the ColdFusion suite.

It was extended to support the usage of scripting languages within CFML, such as ActionScript. Released in 1995, ColdFusion initially had a very minimal set of features. This defines the content to display on the page as well as dynamic actions through use of scripting, very similarly to how JavaScript is commonly used across the web. It uses "ColdFusion Markup Language" (CFML), a server-side language that is syntactically similar to HTML. Adobe ColdFusion is an all-in-one rapid web application development toolkit.
