I have to agree with Casey on this one. There are practically no CF postings in the Texas market. Dallas has by far the most of any other regional market.
I'm no longer a developer and have moved up past the architect tear, and honestly, I here 5x as many stories of people ditching CF than ramping up. The enterprise penetration of MX has been weak. MM would blame this on the marketplace, but I'm not sold on this. We honestly are seriously considering dumping the product and retraining our CF team for native j2ee. MM's failure to support Oracles j2ee server is killing them in the education and corporate marketplaces. Too many large schools and corporations have purchased 'site' licensure of oracle products that comes bundled with oracle's j2ee server. Fiscally we can not justify purchasing another party j2ee server just to continue using the CF toolset. We are moving forward with what we already own. Talking with industry piers, we are by no means the only large shop doing this. My advice, if you want to maintain your marketability, you better ramp up on other application server languages.
