Subject: Re: ColdFusion VS ASP Point 2
The language constructs of ColdFusion are based on three basic things:
standard programming constructs
the English language
HTML
ColdFusion was created from the ground up to both integrate directly into
HTML
code and to look like it. This was done with the express desire to mimic
the
lingua franca of the net. If you learn HTML first then picking up a
programming
language that looks familiar as well as sounds familiar will be easy. This
has
been proven by the very rapid pickup time for the language.
But that's based on people. If someone is a programmer first, they may
feel more
comfortable with .Net as it is more geared to programmers and less
'human'.
These programmers would not find themselves lost with ColdFusion but may
be more
comfortable with a more technical looking language.
