Summary

In this chapter, we covered a variety of topics, including CFOBJECT and COM, Flash integration, CFHTTP, and CFCONTENT. Although seemingly unrelated topics, they all relate to integrating and working with applications and technologies outside the ColdFusion MX Server. As you develop more complex and sophisticated web applications that try to resolve real-world needs, integrating and working with other technologies, such as Microsoft Office through COM, becomes an inescapable requirement.

Armed with the concepts from this chapter, you can build powerful applications that take advantage of disparate applications.
