It's so irritating when people think that Coldfusion "costs" money. Unless you're hosting your own server, the only cost is virtual hosting, which you're going to have to pay no matter what. You also don't need a special editor to code CF.
So, having your own server aside, Coldfusion is as free as Ruby, Python or PHP. I wish that Adobe would start marketing Coldfusion in that matter, focusing on the "free" aspects of it. Anytime I encounter someone who has a skewed perception of the costs of Coldfusion, I always make a point to break down the costs using the above scenario. Usually they're taken quite aback because "everyone knows that Coldfusion costs thousands of dollars to use." <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

Cost? It's the reason I have always shied away from ColdFusion (but now learning due to new job). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:256643 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
