The Next Step: Advanced ColdFusion Functionality
ColdFusion Components (CFCs) enable developers to write ColdFusion application functionality once but access it in a variety ways. For example, we could create a CFC that displays the latest company news bulletins. We could then use that CFC to serve up the news stories through our company web site. However, we could also use that same CFC to serve up the news stories through a PDA or mobile phone or to publish the news feed as a web service.
CFCs are written in CFML and are saved with a .cfc extension. CFCs are also self-documenting, making it easy for developers to share, work with, and use these components.
