ColdFusion is definately easier to program than with ASP. With ASP you'll
have to know some details about microsoft ADO to connect to
Databases. With CF, many of the intricate details are hidden.
However, I've found ASP to be a cleaner language. It's based on VB so it's
eaiser to read than CF's CFML. Also, CFML's syntax is odd at times and not
very consistent.
In anycase, CF is well suited for Rapid Web App development. The front-end
IDE is pretty nice to work with too.
CF may take you a few days to adjust too, but you'll get the hang of it
pretty quick.
BTW, there was a review on ZDnet I believe (there is a link on allaire's
site). In anycase, CF and ASP came out as the top two performing
languages. I forgot who came out ontop... I believe it was CF.
