I am a Certified ColdFusion Developer. The developer version of the server is free to download. The only difference between the developer version and the regular version is the developer version has a limit of 2 concurrent IP while the regular version has no limit. To run your code, you can use developer version to test your ColdFusion applications and then deploy them to some web hosting companies.
cfm is a very easy to learn language especially if you are familiar with HTML. CFM is all tag-based (it also can be written in scripts too; the CF scripts are like javascripts in structure).
If you want to learn ColdFusion, you can go to Barnes and Noble and look for books written by Ben Forta. ColdFusion documentation is also available online for free at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/.
Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions.

yes, "cfm" is ColdFusion, a server-side programming langauge. It is a VERY EXPENSIVE program, and as such, a pain in the rear to learn. If you live in the U.S., Barnes and Noble or Borders have books on this. I've looked in them myself, and the book is every bit of 3-4 inches thick. The material is very dry and I got bored with it quickly. I am sure at $6,000 a license, macromedia/adobe keeps a close eye on piracy of their program, and again, it is server-side, so if either of those 2 don't apply to you, unless your trying to go for a certificate or something, I would give it up.

Files with an extension of 'cfm' contain code written in a language called Coldfusion. Searching yahoo for 'coldfusion' and 'learn' should help.
