I am using Dreamweaver CS5 with Coldfusion Server 8. Is there any reason I would want to buy Coldfusion Builder stand-alone?

Hi,

Actually I would not say vs because I use them together.

Why CFBuilder

  1. If you are developing apps. you are using SQL. This is very easy in CFBuilder
  2. CFBuilder recognize queries, variables etc. and automatically completes them
  3. Easy Debug
  4. Control over your server
  5. Easy to code features

Why Dreamweaver

  1. CSS abilities
  2. Layout abilities
  3. Easy to edit HTML elements

There are many more reasons but those are the ones that I have at the first tought. So I use them together not vs.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Thanks, this is good info. Could you tell me more about some of the features? For instan

ce, why is using SQL easier in CFBuilder than Dreamweaver?  I connect to SQL all the time in Dreamwea

ver so having an easier solutioning platform would be great. Is there an interface for connecting tables and data together like for primary and secondary keys and relationships between separate tables? I like using Flash Builder 4 so is there an easy connection between CFBuilder and Flash Builder 4?

Thanks

Alex:

There are tons of reasons. Perhaps the fastest way to answer them to view one of Ben Forta's intro videos on Adobe TV.

That DreamWeaver can connect to SQL is a beautiful thing. ColdFusion takes it to a whole new level.
