Welcome to the service, please grab a cup of kool-aid from the table there and have a seat.
:) Actually, ever since messing around with ruby, I sometimes get frustrated with CF because there's just not as elegant solutions possible to some problems. Take for instance thumbnailing. In one of my apps, I let the user upload whatever size image the user wants to. On the fly, my program resizes it to constraints and stuffs it in a db blob field. The image never has to go to the file system. In all, it takes about 6~8 lines of code. The code to pull the image out of the db and serve it to the browser is 2 lines and the code to cache the image on the file system for the next request is 1 line. That said, the learning curve and ease of doing some things in CF still keeps it near the king of RAD status On 11/10/05, Bryan Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not looking for a huge thread here....but I just watched a demo on Ruby on > Rails and am left with these impressions/questions: > > 1) On the surface...DAMN!
