We cannot possibly cover all the features of the ColdFusion Engines in this book as our focus was more on the core CFML language. However, please note that the engines offer a tremendous middle-ware capabilities that extend beyond normal language features. There are many areas that make ColdFusion one of the most (if not the most) rapid application development (RAD) languages around.
