any means--our first versions of BlueDragon are implemented in Java and will
continue to be enhanced and supported.
But ASP.NET has a similar benefit. Microsoft is well-known for creating a
thriving market for both commercial and "freeware" extensions to their
development tools, and ASP.NET is no exception. As some others on this list
have already discovered, there's a wealth of "controls" available to extend
ASP.NET functionality:
http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=2
<http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=2&tabid=31> &tabid=31
With BlueDragon.NET, you'll be able to take advantage of these controls when
creating integrated CFML/ASP.NET web applications.

Subject: Re: RE: Microsoft Case Study on BlueDragon.NET
there's one thing I thought I'd add to the discussion: running CFML on Java
offers a little bit more than just the "cross-platform benefits of Java" -
there's also a wealth of open-source code and open-source modules available
for
immediate use in applications built on the Java platform. I'm not trying to
detract from the New Atlanta angle that it's good to be able to run CFML
on .NET and I'm fairly confident that Vince wouldn't disagree with me about
this other benefit... I just thought I'd point it out.
