CFML consists of two primary language elements: tags and functions. Tags let you perform operations such as accessing a database. Functions can return data and do other operations like retrieving the system date. Almost everything you want to accomplish with ColdFusion will involve using tags and functions.
You will use another important element known as a variable. Variables are an important part of most programming languages and are equally important with CFML. Variables let you store information in memory and enable you to pass data.
The following sections describe how to use these three elements.
