Oh... You mean there is an advantage to doing a preso or writing a program where others can read and understand the code without a lot of comments or explanation? Seriously, "CF for presos" is another great argument! Over the years (lotsa' years) I have written many papers/proposals/articles/documentation where I need to supply an example code snippet. Never thought much about it, but it is a lot easier to illustrate and discuss the code when it is written in CF! (Now, APL... There was a real-man's programming language. You could write an entire application in one long (very long) line of code. (At least that was the implied Challenge). Only problem is that it used RPN, so you had to think backwards or inside-out. And, by the time you got to the end of the line you forgot what you were doing :) Another CF strong point is this: It is very easy to slap together a prototype or a demo with CF.. Including creating/populating a database from a text file, an excel ss, or the customer's MS-Access db. I've done this many times-- takes a few hours or days, but you show the customer his app using his data -- it is meaningful to him, When you win the contract, you can often go back and flesh-out the prototype to implement the production solution.
