• 00:05:00 This video explains how to configure your work environment so that you can build your first ColdFusion mini application. First, you must set up your name and FLD values in the form where you typed them, then do the same for the FLD age value. The CF output tag will instruct ColdFusion to look for the ash signs and replace what has been typed in between them with the corresponding value. This process works in the same way for both the first and last name fields. Finally, you can see how the ColdFusion code is processed and removed from the page after it has been processed by the browser.
