An ASP developer said that? Oh, the irony. Java developers would say the same about ASP developers. And way back when C/C++ developers said that about VB developers. And in a prior life I recall a similar statement by an accomplished ASM developer about C developers. But, in a nutshell ... 1) CF is as robust as the J2EE server that it runs on. 2) You can do just about anything in just about any language, languages are not right or wrong, although some are better or worse suited for specific problems. 3) It is possible to write really robust CF code, just as it is possible to write really lousy CF code. 4) It is possible to write really robust ASP.NET code, just as it is possible to write really lousy ASP.NET code. 5) Repeat 3 and 4 as many times as needed replacing CF and ASP.NET with your language of choice. 6) It's about the best tool for the job (or the best tool for the right part of the job). That's the high level answer, then there are lots of details. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Eric Creese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 4:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF or .DotNet what do you think? A while back I had posed a question about CF vs .DotNet. Well the discussion here is picking up again and want to go to the mat for CF. I know, like it, and have built several apps and sites. I have 4 VB developers on staff with limited ASP and web development. They of course will probably lean towards .DotNET. One who has more ASP experience had to let me know that a real developer would use ASP and that CF is for non-developers. Another basically said CF can not provide the robustness needed for a full blown App. Well I am asking for this boards feedback on the matter. Your pros and cons would be much appreciated for my presentation.
