Just keep this in mind, if you are not doing this for a company who is paying you to program and to buy the software. Go with PHP, it's free. I know I would have either gotten into ASP or PHP if the company I was working for didn't already have it.

Hmm. I guess I'm a novice. I'm from a marketing background and I approaching this from a design direction not programming. Additionally, it's a bit of a personal challenge too, which is why I'm getting into this. Well, perhaps not a complete novice. I use Ultradev and have set up a couple of carts in ASP - but using UlraCart rather than coding from scratch. Recently, though, the whole OS/Web world is in a state of (even more than normal) change: .Net and Neo etc. I'm rethinking the whole thing because Vbscript is going to be dead. My needs I guess are defined by keeping costs down and learning and developing quickly. I was wondering if I should go for CF mainly and learn a bit of PHP to go with it. Does that sound sensible? -- Martin Wright -----Original Message----- From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 November 2001 14:58 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How much faster to develop in CF v PHP It depends on you. Do you know how to program? If you been programming for a while and now getting into web stuff then php would probably be easier for you because it looks and "feels" like other languages. CF is reportedly easier to learn for novices. Either way you go they are both RAD and do the same stuff for the most part.
