What cost less for an organization, $15 00 for a server and 200 hours of development time or a FREE application server & 500 hours of development time ? Not to mention the cost of training for employees to maintain an application or the availibility of skilled developers for a particular language.Also the availability for support is an important fac tor as well as the comfort level that the product will be around for awhile. When all these factors are taken in consideration, I believe any savy bu siness would need to take a serious look at coldfusion. The bean counters can do the math on that one real easy. The problem is, they need to *understand* all these factors. I think Macromedia and developers alik e have a vested interest & responsibility to get this point across to clients.
