Well if he's determined, he'll just return with how many sites run on PHP or .NET or whatever. Numbers don't help for CF - what you need to demonstrate is how active and passionate the community is. A recent post by Terry Ryan might help there: http://www.terrenceryan.com/blog/post.cfm/dear-coldfusion-denier One specific point Terry makes: > check out the list of ColdFusion conferences. > A third of them are new conferences and have > popped up over the past 3 years. He's got another posting linked from that one, which has this "Cost of Ownership" image: http://www.terrenceryan.com/blog/assets/content/toc.png Basically showing that CF requires less training, less dev time and less maintenance. I think that sort of thing should be more useful than numbers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:336528 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
