Hello there,

I am totally green in web development.

my goal is to, for the user will input a date range from and to and will out put the records in the intranet when they press a button.

However, the good news is: I have experience in programming. I have written applications for desktop in VB>NET and I understand RDBMS /sql concepts .
But CF and WEB development is new to me.

My current projects involves in connecting to DB and testing it. (it works fine)
And outputting reports by to a intranet page. (records)

i need help on how to start this asap. I will even do some practice at home.

Tools I have at work
• Development server(test)
• Home site.
• Toad for db connection.
• Html reference guide
• Cf dummies book.

How can start my projects.
(ex. Create cf, outputpage?)
seriously, I am new to this.
Thanks.

What you need, but did not mention are:
Webserver software (IIS for example) and Cold Fusion installed on your development server.
A Cold Fusion connection to your db.

A production server with the same stuff.

You'll need to learn two things - HTML and ColdFusion. For someone experienced in programming, I'd think the tutorial approach would work.

An HTML tutorial can be found at http://www.w3schools.com/html/. For a ColdFusion tutorial, you might look at NetMonkey http://www.webmonkey.com/webmonkey/99/03/index1a.html. Google for more. Good luck.
