This course covers using ColdFusion layout controls, creating interactive forms and data grids, and adding a map powered by Google Maps. Exercise files are included with the course.

Topics include:

• Manipulating and securing container contents
• Debugging AJAX behaviors
• Building UI elements such as accordions and border layouts
• Using rich prompts with cfmessagebox
• Understanding advanced cffileupload
• Sorting and grouping data in grids
• Binding data to form fields
• Creating a map with markers
