ColdFusion
In computing, ColdFusion is a tag-based, middleware programming language used chiefly for writing web-based applications. The language was created by Jeremy Allaire, but the product is currently owned by Macromedia.
ColdFusion 1.0 was released in the summer of 1995 by Allaire. The tag-based programming language used was called DBML (DataBase Markup Language) and was later renamed to CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language). Beginning with version 1.5, ColdFusion contained compatibility with C++, allowing users to develop extensions to the language. Years later, this would be the basis for ColdFusion Custom Tags, the current method of extending the ColdFusion language.
Meanwhile, Allaire began work on rewriting the basis of ColdFusion with Java (codenamed "Neo"), which would allow for greater portability among different platforms.
On January 16, 2001, Allaire announced that they would be merging with Macromedia. Shortly after the merger, Macromedia continued with the incremental release of ColdFusion 5.0 and in June 2002, Macromedia released Macromedia ColdFusion MX, extending the naming convention of Macromedia's line of products. ColdFusion MX was completely rebuilt from the ground up and was based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform. ColdFusion MX was also designed to work well with Macromedia Flash using Macromedia Flash Remoting MX.
