On a related note, according to James Ward from Adobe (who visited my user group last night) the educational pricing for Flex is free.
I would definitely be in favor of similar educational pricing for CF. I learned CF in college in my spare time, but NOT because of the developer edition but rather due to a friend who owned a CF server and let me host their for free. If it hadn't been for that there's no way I would have bothered with CF when I couldn't actually use it for real on my personal site to experiment with. I would have probably gone over to Perl or PHP. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 11:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: ColdFusion: Some People Just Don't Know Any Better If they are making good money on it, and it's mostly from the enterprise sector, wouldn't it make sense to let the educational institutions have it for free? This way enterprise would have a better pool of talent, and are more likely to get CF/stick with CF in the coming years. Look everyone has to make sacrifices in order to be competitive. MS released SQL Express in response to MYSQL and PostgreSQL. Oracle released Oracle Lite. Even though this might've caused a hit for their sales of SQL Server standard and workgroup, they are probably getting more sales for SQL Server Enterprise, and less people moving to free platforms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:298448 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
