In this tutorial, you will build a simple ColdFusion web application for a fictitious travel company called Compass Travel. Compass Travel markets a wide range of adventure trips to the public through its website. Trip coordinators at Compass Travel are responsible for maintaining the trip information made available to the public. You will build the sample tutorial application to assist the trip coordinators in maintaining trip information in the Compass Travel database.
ColdFusion development is the emphasis of the tutorial, therefore, you will not need to design or build the Compass Travel database. It is important, however, for you to be familiar with the layout of the database. Additionally, you must understand the functional requirements that will help in determining the application design. This lesson provides an overview of these application design steps, while the remainder of this book guides you through the lessons on constructing the sample application.
