Oh my, the reasons are endless. Here is my $.00000002
1. ASP has (last time I checked) awful access to database info. The steps
to do a simple query were nuts. CF database access is much more intuitive.
2. A lot easier to learn, if you don't know VB or some other programming
language - and even if you do :)
3. CF Runs on a lot of platforms, so you don't wind up looking for a job
that has "we are a microsoft shop" in it. Your skills are a bit more
portable.
4. MX - while it is pissing me off right now - has really nice XML
integration. So I foresee people working with XML in CF **A LOT** easier
then ASP.
However, I am simply a lowly coder - So I encourage you to learn more about
both languages.

Subject: CF vs ASP
OK...I know I'm going to get beat-up over this question, but...
Being new at this, I am trying to determine why I should learn CF over ASP
(or vice versa).
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Craig
