In the past, the US has held a near monopoly not only in ColdFusion-based user groups, but also conferences, with CFUnited, cf.Objective() and the more general Adobe MAX leading the way.

In an earlier post I eluded to the implicit creation of arrays in ColdFusion 8. Well, the same can be said of structures.
A structure, also known as an associative array, is a complex data type composed of a collection of keys and a collection of values, where each key is associated with one value (a key-value pair). The operation of finding the value associated with a key is called a lookup or indexing, and this is the most important operation supported by a structure. The relationship between a key and its value is sometimes called a mapping or binding. For example, if the value associated with the key “Age” is 29 and “City” is “London”, we say that our structure maps “Age” to 29 and “City” to “London”.
