With the economy and market as it is, and with current employment's stability starting to wiggle, I'm being forced to investigate other options.
I was curious what the group's thoughts were on the two above technologies and which would be easier/more natural to move into. Not intending to abandon CF at all, but this is a time where flexibility will be key and I'd like to be able to spread a wider net should job seeking become a factor again. Through a couple early searches, there are a few opportunities that list CF as a *PLUS*, while the core competency is either .NET or JAVA. I've looked into .NET a bit, but it seems that for someone with no access to anything on a large scale (Sharepoint, etc.), there's only so far you can go learning .NET in your basement. There's also the factor of ".NET" not being ONE language, but a combo of several techs rolled into one. I'm curious if .NET, while a web development language, might just look easier to the inexperienced eye? JAVA is a different beast altogether, but seeing as I've been making use of some JAVA in CF7 and CF8 a little here and there, it seems like it would be somewhat familiar at least in the critical getting started phase.
