Features of ColdFusion Splendor

Splendor, the Public Beta of ColdFusion version 11 comes up with a string of features that are really useful for the users. One of the most attractive features of Splendor is its tight integration for the mobile platforms. While previously Adobe tried its best to assist the users in front end designing, a vast majority of the designers/developers found it really hard to succeed, with all their hard work going in vain and their efforts getting bloated. Thus, Adobe came up with a developed along with a more user friendly version of a platform, which would help the development of mobile applications with the help of ColdFusion Code. And the new version 11, which is called Splendor makes development of native phone apps, pure web based apps, as well as a combination of both, highly seamless. What is more intriguing is the fact that while using ColdFusion codes help development of an application, the codes are compiled into JavaScript.

All said and done, let us discuss some of the features of Splendor is details.

The new ColdFusion Splendor helps to improve the existing CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) expertise for developing various types of mobile apps. It also helps in using the inbuilt integration with Adobe Phonegap in a flawless as well as easy manner. Besides, it also helps in delivering them as installed applications, which run on devices that are based on Android and iOS operation systems.

This helps the users to use a string of unique on-device debugging capabilities for identifying as well as fixing the loopholes or errors that can be found in the installed apps or various mobile applications that are browser-based.

Splendor also helps in enhancing the security features for negating as well as limiting the attack surface, by restricting the remote access to admin portal. They also help in developing application much faster and in a seamless manner. This is solely because every functionality that ColdFusion Splendor comes up with, can be accessed by using the CFSCRIPT.

The features also come in handy for improving the conversion engine from Adobe, for generating a superior quality PDFs from the HTMLS pages. Besides, they also allow the end users when it comes to accessing the web applications, with their personal accounts that they already have in various social media sites.

There is also a feature that helps in maintaining along with modification of the existing code in faster, seamless, easier way with the help of the member functions of ColdFusion objects. It also helps in securing the PDFs by using electronic signatures and alter, or manipulate them by using a holistic DDX support.

The application also is rich in certain features that come up with CFMobile. Though the codes and tags might look similar to the developers of CFML, they work only on client side. Some of the features include Easy Access of data by using the cfquery/queryExecute, Client side Object Oriented Programming (OOP) with the use of cfcomponent, the customary tags that come up with CFML, seamless error handing with the use of try-catch procedure, Interoperability between JavaScript and cfclient code.

So, with the introduction of ColdFusion Version 11 or Splendor with these value added features, the future roadmap plan of CF is quite clear. They have the next version, ColdFusion 12 in the pipeline, which is coming up very soon. This implies that ColdFusion is very much committed to serve its clients in an all new way to be in tune with the changing technology. The most important thing is that Coldfusion has remained pro-user. Even the programmers have remained comfortable with it. They are always waiting for the next version with optimal eagerness – a sign that clearly proves who popular is CF in the fraternity of the developers.

But the platform is being updated on a regular basis by Adobe to meet the ongoing trends in technology and web development. Nowadays, it is being used widely by developers across the world to build websites and intranets driven by data. Also, its features make it easier for programmers to easily generate Flash remoting, SOAP web services and other remote services.

However, Adobe has released the latest version of ColdFusion with a set of features to enable programmers to build, deploy and maintain a variety of enterprise web applications at a rapid pace. ColdFusion 10 further offers a set of features to make web applications more dynamic and interactive using Java Enterprise Edition (EE) platform. If you are yet to adopt the server-side technology, it is time to understand some of its main features and benefits.
