To be really honest, I'm almost past the point of caring. I live in one of the CF Hotbeds, Washington DC and my phone and email are blown up at least once a day with calls for Senior CF Developers.. there are jobs out there.. As a matter of fact the company that I work for is actively looking for ColdFusion developers for a DHS contract...
I think the biggest naysayers are the body shops who can't find developers willing to pull up stakes an move half way across the country for a three month contract. Ben Forta said it best, and I'm paraphrasing "As long as CF is profitable, Adobe will continue to support it". In my opinion, I think that we as the community should be more vocal and not depend on Adobe to market. "Marketing" for PHP, Ruby etc, is driven by the developer communities why shouldn't CFML be as well.. Maybe, we should achieve that separation between the language (CFML) and a particular engine (Adobe ColdFusion), and vocalize the merits of the language, and let the client dictate the implementation.. Also.. we should lay some of this burden at the feet of those involved with Railo and Open Blue Dragon.... Railo does some marketing but I've seen very little from the OBD folks... all this is just my own opinion, I'm sure there are others On 11/20/2012 8:19 PM, Eric Roberts wrote: > http://corfield.org/blog/post.cfm/cfml-too-little-too-late > > > > Did you guys read Sean's latest blog post. > > > > This would be a good discussion as he does bring up some good points.though > I think he was a little overly harsh in others. > > > > > > > > <http://www.threeravensconsulting.com/> > > <http://www.threeravensconsulting.com> Your ColdFusion Development Solution > > > > > Eric Roberts > Owner/Developer > > Three Ravens Consulting > > > <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] > <http://www.threeravensconsulting.com> http://www.threeravensconsulting.com > > > > tel: > fax: > > 630-486-5255 > 630-310-8531 > > > > > > <https://www.plaxo.com/add_me?u=34360284618&src=client_sig_212_1_banner_join > &invite=1&lang=en> Want to always have my latest info? > > <http://www.plaxo.com/signature?src=client_sig_212_1_banner_sig&lang=en> > Want a signature like this? > > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:358690 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
