Not in Australia, and Mike is right the jobs are not there for ColdFusion developers in Australia.
Australia is not in a recession, America might be. But we refuse to acknowledge this, and our economy here is actually very strong in a lot of areas. The job market here has continued to reflect that Companies are moving to other technologies because it is getting harder and harder to get good ColdFusion developers. This has not changed in the last 10 years. If anyone wishes to reflect that we are in a recession then please Explain how the jobs for ColdFusion began declining in 1999, and have continued to drop for ColdFusion? Again let me say this, the Australian IT industry is thriving, just not the ColdFusion side of it. If there are no developers to replace, then the companies have no choice but to look at moving to another technology where developers and resources can be replaced, this hasn't changed in the last 10 years either. It really sickens me that the excuse of a recession is used, are you saying that we have been in a recession for the last 10 years Sean? I don't thinks so. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Corfield [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 21 January 2010 6:03 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Why i fear ColdFusion is on its last legs The pool of CFers is constantly growing. Rates are still higher for CFers than most other web technologies. There are more CFML conferences and events than ever. But there is a recession going on - and that hurts everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
