Sooner or later you, as a web developer, will run into a situation where CF is not an option (client choice, server restrictions, etc.). When this happens, if you haven't learned ASP/VBScript, or some other suitable technology, then you probably won't be able to work on the project.
With ASP available on every IIS server for free (ignoring hosting costs for now), a lot of clients, especially small businesses, will resist CF or PHP even. In these cases, you have to know ASP. Btw, there's nothing saying you HAVE to do VBScript for ASP pages - you can use JScript as well, which is basically Javascript. My thoughts.... not yours....

I have started getting up to speed in ASP/VBScript but the question keeps coming up: should I even spend any time doing this or should I just concentrate on CF? The more e-mails I read in this list, the more I realize how powerful CF is, but should I keep all my eggs in one basket so to speak? Any good advice? > > TIA > > Jimmy > ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
