Ack! Contrary to that opinion I'd start in the CF realm first for the simple fact of a more forgiving learning curve. You can be productive in much less time.
As for touting a pure JSP/Java approach...Just takes longer and has a lot more prerequisites. Although there's most definitely a time and place for it of course...really depends on what you're doing. CF is a layer of abstraction...less to worry about...sure there's an associated cost to that but for many projects that's irrelevant...plus there's nothing to stop you from dipping down into a lower level language to get the job done.

Why? Because what CFMX does is translate CFML pages into some servlets (correct me if I am wrong) so why learning CF(providing you don't know it already) when you can learn Java(JSP and stuff). As I see it CF is far from beating Java(that's why they choose to use java in their very own CF) Well, I have quite some experience with CF(more than 3 years) and I didn't upgrade to CFMX and I will never do it. Why not ASP? Well because if you do that you are stuck with windows. If that is not a problem go for it :) Marius Burz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
