    Not sure that it's possible to nail down the "most important" tag in ColdFusion.  In the course of developing an application, no doubt you'll use <cfoutput> quite a bit (to output CF variables and function results), <cfquery> to connect to your database, <cfset> to set variables, <cfif> for conditional processing....the list goes on.  As in PHP, the most important tag in CF is the one that solves the particular problem that you have at hand.

    Here's a decent introduction to what ColdFusion brings to application development:

    Are you new to Coldfusion specifically, or new to programming in general?  If you are new to progamming in general, you'll also need to know about html, and maybe javascript, css, sql, and data modelling.

    Hi Vikas--

    Welcome to ColdFusion!  I'm sure you'll find that as you get into it more, ColdFusion is not only easy to learn but also extremely powerful.

    It's difficult to answer your question directly, simply because there is a lot to know.  If you have specific questions about what some of the tags do, or just need guidance with particular aspects of coding your application, feel free to ask.

    If you're just looking for a good introduction, there are plenty available online.  I'd recommend starting off with the docs:

    http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/index.html (these are for ColdFusion 8...but there are links for other versions)

    Beyond that, googling specific ColdFusion tags and functions generally provides pretty robust solutions to a lot of possible issues you might encounter.

    And of course, if you come across specific problems or questions, feel free to ask here on these boards.

    Good luck!
