This is one of the most simple building blocks of Coldfusion, but you have to start somewhere when learning a new language.

#variable#

You just have to surround the variable in those tags. All Coldfusion tags, I read today, start with the “cf”. That coupled with the fact that it is a tag language, with an opening and a closing tag is supposed to make the language easier on designers used to just HTML programming.

Now, can it be easier for designers and a better language than PHP? I know my friend would say no way. And I do know that it is way too early in the game for me to evaluate that with an expertise, if ever. But I read a number of articles today that had good points as why it is better. I will just have to have the time to continue on the path to evaluate that for myself.
