In this chapter, we've covered how you can use ColdFusion's built-in error handling techniques to improve the performance and flow of your ColdFusion applications.

Although error handling is sometimes overlooked by inexperienced developers in their zeal for getting a project completed, it's vital to understand how important proper error handling is to the performance of an application. The benefit of ensuring that you've taken steps to eliminate any unhandled errors from your applications cannot be overstated. You would be amazed at the stability improvement that can occur simply by eliminating unhandled errors from your application.

Although it does take time and effort up front to properly handle ColdFusion errors, the benefit your application will derive from this is well worth the effort.
