It's funny Massimo, you more than anything got me into moving to cfm :) thanks!
And I hear what you are saying but it's still not what my point was. Again I was referencing these people who dont want to be programmers but find out that they do need to learn something to be able to function or get a good job and that is where PHP is HUGE and in all practicality cfm should own that market. What I am saying is to just get it "in" to these ppl and let them grow into it as they need to instead of php. ---------------------------------------- From: "Massimo Foti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 3:57 AM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: Re: CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite? > Thank you, but do other people think CF would fit in the unit as a true > education? 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/ ---------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:205492 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
