I wouldn't have a clue how to use "old skool CGI technology" and don't see how I could a dynamic, database-driven website with just HTML...never heard of "bespoke tools" either. However, I have now, since I googled for it and found their site... they use Flash... I hate designing with Flash...
User experiences... yes, Ajax, etc. Starting to use jQuery. I haven't worked with Ajax, yet. I've looked into ASP.NET, but I dislike working with components, yet can't code it by hand. Basically, you need to understand that I have no background whatsoever in computer programming. Never took a computer course in all my years in college. I pickup up web design on my own as a personal and business interest, and Cold Fusion as a means to be able to create a means for clients to update their own content. It was intuitive for me. Later I began to use the automated email, etc., as enhancements to sites. I still get a lot of miles out of 4.5... But I must say, with the requests I'm getting for business applications, I would like to enhance usability with Ajax so the interfaces work more like traditional software. I'm using Javascript to enhance the interfaces, but would like the single-page data management that Ajax brings to the table.

Well, why should spend it? In your case, there probably is no reason as you seem to be noting that your requirements are very basic, but I suppose the argument could also be why use ColdFusion at all? You may as well just stick with an old skool CGI technology, or even just flat HTML :-) I am not sure what your real world examples of your noted increased user experiences are though? If your talking about Ajax etc then why use ColdFusion? May as well roll your own using free bespoke tools for the job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:269434 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
