CF Educational licensing is free if I remember correctly (correct me if I am wrong on that...)

I have a bit of a history with educational systems, and talking with some of my past colleagues the other day they indicated they've stopped teaching the majority of Adobe technologies (Flash, Dreamweaver, etc - they still teach Photoshop) because it was too dang expensive to buy even the educational licenses to do so. Many states have made huge cuts in education budgets trying to balance the state budget - so schools are cutting back on software spending to help compensate right now. They *WANT* to teach Adobe technologies, CF could be included with that, but it's just too expensive for them to do so. I don't think Adobe should give software away, even to schools (we all gotta pay the bills, right?) but easing up a little would yield excellent long-term results (and customers!) IMHO.

At the same time focus on managers that make the tech decisions and show them ColdFusion can fill their needs. Then show case very high volume/traffic ColdFusion powered sites and dispel the myths about ColdFusion with live case studies. > > > > Wil Genovese > Sr. Web Application Developer/ > Systems Administrator > > Wil Genovese Consulting > wilg...@trunkful.com > www.trunkful.com > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334844 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
