Well a few years back a new guy in the office slagged CF of to me and I just dismissed him,
Now later he has seen that all CF Projects have been completed on time every time in budget and all Java/.NET have been delayed and over budget every time and now gives it some respect, and when I showed him the charting/reports/event gateways he couldn't understand how you could do it so quickly so I say CF is mind blowing to any one and you have to forgive them for not understanding :-) My 2p -----Original Message----- From: Will Swain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 November 2006 10:34 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: grrrr.... I had a 'discussion' with the IT consultant at a client of mine who insisted that CF was built on ASP. He wouldn't have it any other way. He was obviously an MS man and didn't view anything else as 'proper'. What annoyed me more than anything else was that he was getting paid a small fortune as a daily rate and clearly didn't know what he was talking about. -----Original Message----- From: Jenny Gavin-Wear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 November 2006 10:17 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: grrrr.... I totally agree. Last week my (now ex) hosting company (Vortech) told one of my customers that CF is a crap development system and is full of security holes. I spoke to the guy and he hadn't got a clue about CF beyond basic installation. Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Crow T. Robot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 November 2006 17:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: grrrr.... I just got off the phone with a IT company who manages the web server for one of our clients. This client is pretty small, non-profit, and we're just doing a little ASP project with them. In the course of our conversation, he asked what other languages we use. I tell him CF, ASP.NET, ASP, and PHP. His reply to me was "You still use ColdFusion? What a piece of crap!". Of course, I bristle any time I hear stuff like this, and I whoa'ed him up a little. As we got deeper into the conversation, I found out that he was basing his whole experience on a legacy CF5 server install that he did a few weeks ago for a client of his. I tried and tried to explain that he's comparing apples to oranges when talking about modern CFMX vs. CF5, but he just wouldn't hear it. I just wanted to strangle the guy. Why do IT people have such know-it-all attitudes when they clearly don't know what they are talking about? Seems to only happen in our industry.can't let the other guy out-geek you, I guess. Bah - rant over. Just needed to get it out of my system.
