Exactly. There is all sorts of amazing things going on out there. Ex: I have been digging into the .NET world and I am nothing short of amazed as to what folks are doing on that front. Visual studio has a package manager much like YUM for Linux... You type in a command at the command prompt within VS and it includes packages like angular.js or Twitter Bootstrap or into your app just like you install apps with YUM on Linux. I was all "Whoah, wait, what? Is this a MS product? Kick ass!!" I am a huge fan of Railo btw but the webdev landscape is radically different than it was a scant 2-3 years ago. As I am fond of saying "Everything you know is wrong every 3 to 5 years." In the same breath I have to say that the back end is quickly becoming little more than a service layer for your database and for things that JS and/or mobile apps can't do or do well. I have heard several times in the last week (from developers of various back end languages) that the back end is "just a matter of preference anymore". Everything is moving to AJAX, Mobile apps and client side app MVC frameworks like Backbone.js and Angular.js so just as long as you can expose your back end via Rest and/or SOAP web services it really doesn't matter what you are running server side. And as we all know CF makes it ridiculously easy to do both :) Just some observations and my $0.02 on the matter... And as always, worth every penny. G!
