Someone expected ASP to take off??
:)
I only see ASP working in very limited and specialised environments and
groups of customers..not enought to make it viable at a big business level,
definitely not with the average consumer.
People still want their stuff to be stored locally, and the Internet is just
too unreliable to account for a stable ASP Model. The amount of times my
cable goes out alone..if I were depending on that connection to do my work
I'd be most unproductive.
Still, for an ASP type environment, I don't see CF as being used either..it
would more be java or Active X Controls no?
I don't think that CF would come into decline..and I also don't think that
Microsoft will be supporting it, unless it buys Macromedia outright, and
hope to the gods that never happens. You forget Microsoft has their own
CF-like language, ASP.
So I don't think we have to fear the decline of CF because of the merger
with Macromedia. If they continue on their model toward CF6 (creating Jave
Servlets from CF Coded pages) it would make CF a standard and it should
surpass ASP.
So don't give up your CF Specialisation yet, but still learn ASP and perhaps
one other scripting type language to round off your skills..is what I
suggest.
now if only I can take my own advice ;-)

I have also heard a disturbing rumour that the ASP (Application Service
Provider not MS ASP!) industry is about to collapse. It hasn't taken off as
expected at all. Will this also contribute to the decline of our chosen
technology?
