Not really hand in hand both ways... It goes the way you're talking about yes but take a CF programmer and throw them to a Java project and it won't be so graceful a move... The learning curve on the Java side FAR exceeds ColdFusion.. as someone learning Java, I can attest to this. You have to know the basics of Java before you can even get started with "web" programming in Java. And if the shop you're working with is using a framework, Struts, Spring, etc.. adds more work.
So yes, a Java programmer can add a lot to a CF shop, but a ColdFusion programmer adds nothing but headache to a Java shop (at least at first ;) On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 4:40 AM, Paul Kukiel <[email protected]> wrote: > > We brought a java dev over to CF.
