I'd like to propose that it's not just about "solutions" but "vision" which harks back to a webdu presso by Grant Straker in selling (then Macromedia) product.
2 years ago it was CF integrating with flash (flex 1.5)... now look at the goodies with Flex 2.0 and also now we're beginning to see the start of integrating CF with "active" PDF (Livecycle). It makes an interesting counter to the Microsoft "from ASP.NET to SharePoint to Exchange to MSOffice" mind you, I have *never* worked at a place with end-to-end Microsoft solutions (don't really want to) - there's always a critical legacy app, Solaris box or Oracle database to complicate matters... at the moment, it's this "vision" argument that I'm using to counter the Ruby-on-Rails attention, which it seems is a real threat to the CF "space" of RAD. Can RonR have as seemless remoting support (eg: CFC's to AS classes) or integrate with LiveCycle PDF's? ... you get the idea ... bugger!.... I dropped a stitch.... barry.b On 8/11/06, <cfgroupie> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey just to add more fuel to the fire.
