One thing you can't do with Cold Fusion is convince people of the language's strength..
<cf_moron problem="ignorance" NumberOfTimesToTryExplaining="50" IfNegativeResults="You'll see."> I've only gotten one php developer to migrate to Cold Fusion.. Here's the question I ask of developers.. IF PHP and Perl are so powerful and free then why does anyone buy Cold Fusion? And doesn't it seem like it would be the toy developers who would use the free languages? Oh, my boss would have loved having Cold Fusion for free, lol.. And another thing.. can someone tell me what's so divinely awesome about JSP?? I've looked at it and I'd rather write <CF..> anyday.. And no offense to you guys who believe JSP is better because some of you are undoubtedly better CFers than me.. but so far the only ones I've encountered that prefer JSP are the ones who code Cold Fusion literally like this: <cfoutput>#variable1#</cfoutput><cfoutput>#variable2#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#variable3#</cfoutput><cfoutput>#variable4#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#variable5#</cfoutput><cfoutput>#variable6#</cfoutput> Thanks, Tony Hicks ---------- Search the Holy Bible: http://www.bibleclicks.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Vinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 4:40 PM Subject: Re: Networksolutions using CFM > .. sentiments well taken, but for late entrants (like myself) into the corporate transaction-based world, this is very useful (important) reading.
