This morning I read something disturbing. Weekly I get InformationWeek, which really caters more to CIOs and SysAds more than developers. That's part of why what I read disturbed me so much.
They run a weekly column titled "CIO Values," in which they profile some CIO or CTO from a variety of industries. Someone who has provided value to their company, and the companies they've worked with before. This week they profiled Bill Santille of Uline, a 'Shipping Supply Specialist' if Google has it right. (http://tinyurl.com/2fsj74) In the article they have the interviewee's 'Three top initiatives' that they are working towards. In Mr Santille's he states, in his second initiative: "Rewrite entire sales/customer service application by replacing green-screen application with Java..." But, his third initiative states: "Replace current Web-based front end for Internet transactions with Microsoft .Net code. The existing platform is written in ColdFusion..." OK, from an integration standpoint it would definitely make more sense to stay with ColdFusion, being that it's J2EE native. So, where is this guy's thinking? Well, he probably doesn't know any better. What's worse, it's published in a nationally distributed magazine to IT executives. Hey Adobe! Somebody needs to talk to this guy.... -- Steve "Cutter" Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer _____________________________ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298183 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
