And you think that PHP or Microsoft does this? Can you tell me the best .NET or PHP guy around? .... I doubt it.

Carluen To: CF-Talk Sent: Fri Jan 12 22:41:38 2007 Subject: RE: Client asked me: "Why you use coldfusion?" I think there are more than enough written resources available out there that compares CF against PHP, ASP etc... as Josh pointed one out directly from Adobe. Most of which however, are written to convince developers on what platform to develop on. At one point or another, we've all been asked by prospective clients the same question Ali was asked... "Why should I go with you, cf guy, and not the php guy?" Is there anything Adobe is doing to make the selling of CF directly to the guy who'll write the check? If Adobe markets CF right, these potential clients should be looking for and asking "who is the best CF guy around?" instead. Adobe, are you listening? > -----Original Message----- > From: Josh Nathanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 2:07 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Client asked me: "Why you use coldfusion?" > > Here's a link that addresses your issue directly (don't know if anyone > posted this one yet): > http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/php_cfmx.html > > This might give your client something to chew on. > > -- Josh > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dave Watts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 1:57 PM > Subject: RE: Client asked me: "Why you use coldfusion?" > > > >> The client asked me "why are you using Coldfusion and why > >> don't you use ASP.Net or PHP?".
