It is very true that most websites out there are HTML with fancy stuff like JavaScript/DHTML however as web applications continue their march into replacing legacy enterprise apps that will not be enough.
We see the integration of CFMX and FlashMX (and MX successors) to be a pivotal issue in Application Server/Environment choice. .NET does not offer such a logical path to building RIA's. If we add to that the RAD advantages of ColdFusion, we have no doubts that CF holds sway over .NET for all that we are involved in. Kind Regards Mike Brunt Original Message ----------------------- Currently there are things one can do with ASP.net that cannot efficiently be done in CF, however for most web development, it has already been shown a number of times that same or similar functionality can be done in CF with far less lines of code that in ASP. True, one does not have to be a C, C# or VB.NET programmer to learn CF. All that said, the fact remains that the majority of web sites are mostly plain 'ol HTML, with some JavaScript thrown in. The actual dynamic data driven sites have a shorter development time in CF than in .ASP, however, XML handling is still a moving target for CF, but they are getting there. For the evolving present, however, there seems to be room for a combination of all the technologies, including even (gag) java! ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

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. | | Eric | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
