I don't want to sound picky but I have a few questions.....! Coding in different languages is not really that much of a plus. You can do that in CF too just differently. For example you can access Web services built in any language from CF, and the code you write to do it can't be beat for simplicity. Strong Typing... Doesn't the CFMX Java servlet compare favourably in this regard? separating code from presentation - What is exactly better about this? Is it simply because the model more or less forces you to do this? Server validation controls - interesting but isn't this once again a matter of having something pre-built? Web Controls - I am writing user docs for an app built using these and they aren't perfect I wonder if some of the appeal of the whole MS system is the ability to offload blame for limitations onto MS.... Better handling of client state - details please! Better handling of html forms - what do you mean?
Honestly nothing here that sounds far superior yet... skeptically, -Patrick > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 11:51 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: RE: Microsoft plots Macromedia coup against Java > > > Why ASP.NET is superior: > > You can code in different languages. > Strong typing. > Better, more flexible ways of separating code from presentation. > Server Controls - including real validation controls. > Web Controls. > Better handling of client state. > Better handling of html forms. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cantrell, Adam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Monday, December 23, 2002 9:43 am > Subject: RE: Microsoft plots Macromedia coup against Java > > > I've read a lot of people say that ASP.NET is 'far superior' to > > CF, but have > > never really heard their reasoning on feeling that way.
