I have some very personal opinions on this. While I really love CF, I would not use CFML to teach programming in schools; for similar reasons I would not use Perl either. I would pick something like Python or Ruby, then move to Java or C#. I often tell people that CFML is a great choice if you want to be productive, not so good if your ultimate goal is to learn programming. You better learn programming with another language (even something like Pascal) and move to CFML later. In italian universities there are topics considered "propedeutici" (I guess english translation should be "propaedeutic"). It means they are the basics that allow you to move more easily into more advanced topics, bigger and better things, at a later stage. I don't think CFML could be propaedeutic for programming students. On the other hand, if you don't care about programming but just want to be productive asap, CFML is a great choice. Again, this is just my own opinion, nothing more. ---------------------------- Massimo Foti DW tools: http://www.massimocorner.com CF tools: http://www.olimpo.ch/tmt/ ---------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
