Cold fusion geeks?

I just bought cold fusion from the cfwebstore.com thinking I had enough geekness to figure it out, but I'm completely lost. I need to update my website and get it off of one of those stupid website builder/hosting companies.(websitepros, and they suck) I've worked with html a little, so thought I could take the instruction manual and figure how to build a webstore, but can't even seem to get started.
If anyone is familiar with this software, I'd love a bit of tutoring. RR

Coldfusion is an expensive choice for web development. There are plenty of open source tools you can use for free that are probably more effective. Hosting is as cheap as $10 a month and with your reputation in the mycology world I bet you could drive a lot of ad income with a website.
Building a webstore is complicated. Check out http://www.magentocommerce.com/ - it's an open source web store built on the popular zend framework. You'd just have to make an html layout for the program.

sorry for taking your thread OT, but can't you get a refund and use PHP/mySQL instead (open source, everything you could want to know about them is freely available online)

I am very familiar with Cold Fusion. It was what I used for several years of web development. But after many many hours of development, I decided to try another route as Cold Fusion just wasn't doing what I wanted. Not only that, but I never had 'legal' copy to begin with. It can do some very dynamic things, but the very nature of language itself, being a markup language, is it's own downfall imo. It was easy to read at first to do basic things, but to do more advanced things, the <tags> got old, repetetive, and eventually hard to read in terms of syntax...It just wasn't what I was ultimately looking for.
I eventually switched to Apache/PHP/MySQL being it was free and open source with a HUGE online developing community. I can't say the same things about CF. However, I found that in a Windows environment, the CF installation went a lot smoother than the Apache/PHP/MySQL went. That requires a lot more setup and manually editing text based configuation files...A challenge all on its own froma beginner stand point.
PM with any specific questions and I can send you in the right direction.

If you have web space on a server somewhere, odds are they won't let u install cold fusion. You're at the percy of whatever they have installed. If it's linux/unix then you're prolly stuck using PHP or Perl.
Me? I'm an asp.net guy myself.
