Interesting to hear. I think a lot of CF work has disappeared from the Bay Area (even tho' we still have three strong CFUGs) - and now companies are finding it hard to recruit good CFers here - because many CFers moved to where there were more CF jobs or learned other languages and are gainfully employed already. It definitely speaks to the need for developers to be multi-lingual if they want to avoid roaming around, following their technology to wherever its jobs are hot (although I've never had any problems getting telecommute work and the project I'm on right now only has 2 CFers on-site - everyone else, including the designer and the DBA, are remote). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies US -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
