I believe they pitch Dreamweaver to PHP developers - it certainly supports PHP - and they've also featured PHP as a possible back end for Flex (didn't Flex/Flash Builder have a wizard that offered PHP as an option for targeting the back end at some point?). The Adobe Labs wiki is PHP too, BTW, because there was no comparable wiki in CFML and it was cheaper to take MediaWiki and customize it than build a comparable wiki in CFML. adobe.com also has Perl, JSP and various other technologies in use on it. When I worked at Adobe, I seem to recall some product teams created their own technology showcases using Ruby on Rails or whatever their team happen to be familiar with. Whilst Adobe promote and sell CFML, the reality is that they don't have a lot of CFML programmers in house. The team I created at macromedia.com was the biggest concentration of CFML programmers in the organization - and we cross-trained from Java/C++ - and my understanding is that team is substantially smaller now than it was. I also know that the team I was on at Adobe stopped using CFML shortly after I left (the team used Java exclusively before I joined and went back to it after I left). Adobe is a huge company with dozens of teams creating web applications - it's unrealistic to expect them all to use CFML, no matter how nice that might be for our egos as CFML developers :) -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341553 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
