I think I would have taken a different tact with your subcontractor. Beginning with the assumption that he considers himself the center of the known universe and probably has had some dealings with asking his IT department for something unnecessisarily complex in the past... I would have to agree with his statement (what else would he hear?).
"But, realistically [insert subcontractor name with casual smile] i'm sure it's not the language itself. In fact, most "business logic" that higher managment and people "we" hire to analyze our systems can imagine will be difficult for most web programmers to implent (compliments his intellectual prowess). But in this case, our team has "me" to implement whatever business logic you might need, and I'm sure that given two rocks and a sharp stick (throw in some such senseless analogy) I'd be able to give you what you want. Give me a great programming language like Cold Fusion and I might be able to get it done today! It's just that fast and easy to use." -----Original Message----- From: Venable, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 10:17 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF and "Business Logic More of a philosophical question. I was meeting with a potential subcontractor the other day and he made the remark that once you get into serious business logic, cold fusion is "kinda hokey." Anyone care to possibly elaborate on what he might've meant? Or is this just another one of those anti-CF prejudices?
