Your right, the people at the top don't care so much about what it is written in, just that it works and was done on time.
Rarely can a full application development company choose one platform and stick with it, we have to evolve with the times. If the company is going to be based solely on web applications then I would choose CF. But if there was going to be compiled application development as well, and we had to choose one and not the others, I would choose to leave the company. I can use only CF from a web only perspective, but the idea that one platform will be used to develop web/desktop/server and other application for the life of the company is just wrong. If cost is the issue, then I can understand that, but Java is free, .NET framework and SDK are free, you just have to have windows. CFMX does cost money, which might be one of its cons, but the cost is very small when you take into account all of the things that are part of the platform/tool set/language. Choosing the tool for the job should be done for each job, you should not be limited to one platform/tool. If you are dealing with large applications that will work well in .NET or Java then the cost of the application should be high enough to purchase the needed licenses for the tools. I am assuming a custom job here, obviously if it is an in house product then there are other things that are taken into consideration. You choose the tool for the job, not the job for the tool. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 3:42 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: RE: Microsoft plots Macromedia coup against Java > > Ahh, I see the other thing here. > > You have a choice of platforms to work with.
