Hello everyone. I apologize in advance if this topic is inappropriate for
this forum, but I feel sure that you folks (timid, shy, unopinionated lot
that you are) will let me know if it is. Here goes. . .
The (small startup) company I work for has a chance to land a VERY lucrative
contract with a major client here in houston. The client uses ASP
extensively. We want to encourage them to purchase cf server, and to allow
us to realize their project in cold fusion. I must make a compelling
presentation to the client by mid-week. I am aware of the "asp vs. cold
fusion" listing on the HOF site, and will include those points, but I am
hoping that some of you can help me augment the following list (which is an
extension of the HOF list):
---cf will drastically reduce the development time (and hence $$) of the
project . . . (i.e. one can accomplish the same things with much simpler
coding)
---the simpler code makes for MUCH easier maintenance of the project (again
. . . . ultimately saving $$)
---bringing in cold fusion does not make their existing ASP code obsolete.
The two can operate concurrently, and will offer their in-house team yet
another wonderful and proven tool. (We plan on including one or two ASP
pages in our mock-up so that they can see the two operating hand-in-hand)
---since cf sends (for the most part) nothing but html to the client's
machine, less "sensitive" code will be visible to curious and/or unfriendly
"codesmiths" out in the real world.
I also need a solid argument to combat the "cold fusion has security issues"
argument that these people may or may not have heard. At the very least, I
would love to hear a not-too-biased comparison of ASP vs. cF as regards
security . . . particular the security of any and all referenced
database(s).
Thanks.
