>> and they re-wrote CFML to run on the J2EE platform - silly move. ?? Eh? How on earth can this be a silly move? I can see the fact they have *not* created a .NET version as a silly move but not by moving it to one of the major players in server technologies. If anything the Java move did it wonders for respect and possibilities.
Dreamweaver... Well yeah, if you like bloatware, but each to their own I guess.

ColdFusion (Cold Fusion initially) has been around since before it's subtle commercial release in 1995 (courtesy of JJ and Jeremy Allaire). Then Nick Bradbury added to it's popularity when Allaire Inc. acquired "HomeSite" - then to become ColdFusion Studio - since discontinued and appears HomeSite+ 5.5 is the last of breed. Then along came Macromedia. Fools. They integrated CFML into Dreamweaver (tag completion etc) - still about the best IDE for Web Development with good code centric stuff also. Oh - and they re-wrote CFML to run on the J2EE platform - silly move. Along came the Adobe spider and swallowed up Macromedia - and grabbed CF, Flash, Flex, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc. Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Flash survived the inevitable product cull. Freehand did not (but come on even in MX form it sucked). ColdFusion however is a major part of Adobe's server line so never a better time to if not learn CFML, but to also learn how it integrates with Flex, Flash, SMS, .Net, Java, Email and the hundreds of other things it can do out of the box... in less code. Nearly 12 years later and am still learning more about CF everyday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
