Of course you want to learn it. I'll skip the discussion on whether it is a good idea to rewrite everything in a new language or not since business decisions don't have to make sense. The man with the gold makes the rules.
The standard procedure in most industries is to decide to write all new applications in another language, then proceed. They keep the legacy people around for maintenance and hire a bunch of kids to write the new stuff. Then, they fire all the old people and keep the kids who now are in legacy mode. As a geezer, you have to jump into the new stuff when you get half of a chance even if you have to learn it on your own dime. Having them pay for you to learn the new stuff is gold. Moral of story: Try not to be one of those legacy devs. (Of course, you already know this if you are a geezer geek and have made it this far.) ---- morchella <[email protected]> wrote: > > so we have some people at the top here wanting us to switch from cf to > groovy. > i have no control other then will support all apps until this thing happens. > > so was curious if any one here has done any groovy stuff, and what advice > they could give to a old man who has done cf since 1998. > > i don't want to learn it. but have to. > so any good books or resources that you know of? > > hoping it doesn't happen, or that i find another cf shop before it does. > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:357954 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
