Hello George,
It sounds to me like your 'instructor' just doesn't know CF and is
biased toward what he does know.
ASP has one advantage over Cold Fusion: price. Otherwise,
1) Your developers will need to write 3 to 5 lines of ASP code for every
line that CF needs to perform the same task.
2) ASP lacks many functions that CF has, meaning you'll be laboriously
recreating them in code if you need them.
3) CF can use the very same COM objects that ASP can, but ASP can use no
CF custom tags. Both use 'templates'.
4) CF rocks, ASP sucks (okay, so I'm biased too).
Others may enlighten you with more reasons why you should choose CF. I
would hazard a guess that if you go with ASP you and your organization
will very much regret that decision.
Regards,
Karl Simanonok

Subject: CF is 'template based' and ASP is 'object based'?
Message-ID: <DBE3D22C3691D31180644000501FCCD1B830FB@S1FCCD1>
An instructor was speaking to a group of our managers and he explained
the
difference between CF and ASP as CF is 'template based' and ASP is
'object
based', therefore he prefers ASP because it is more sophisticated (and
because he has used it more). What exactly could he have meant by this?
Isn't ASP 'template based'? Aren't CF custom tags 'objects' in the sense
that he was referring to ASP's objects? And can't CF call the very same
objects that ASP calls? Did this instructor pass along misinformation or
is
he just confused or am I confused? We are on the cusp of making a
decision
to go with either CF or ASP and there's lots of hand wringing going on
around here . . . Thanks!
George
