Developing the sample application
Given the application functional requirements and the database provided, you are ready
to use ColdFusion to develop the Trips Maintenance application. The remaining lessons
in the tutorial will step you through the process of constructing this application. When
you are done, the main page for the Trip Maintenance application will appear as follows:
The main application page is where users will come to view information about trips and
to navigate to other ColdFusion pages to add, edit or search for new trips.
The following lessons, explain how to do these tasks:
• Develop a trip search facility (Lesson 2).
• Build the main application page (Lesson 3).
• Implement browsing and trip maintenance functions (Lesson 4).
• Write code to enforce Compass Travel business rules (Lesson 5).
• Develop the trip add and update pages (Lesson 6).
How to proceed
Each lesson in the tutorial is designed to let you proceed at your own pace. At any time,
you can stop and later return to that place in a lesson so that you can complete all the
sections in the lesson.
