we will be well on the way by next year, thanx to the introduction of Blackboard but we'll be using Java and JSP to hook into the Bb API. All but a couple of CF servers will left to fester away, waiting to be put out of their misery. Of the remaining ones, I'm hard pressed to get enough reasons to upgrade to CF7. But if you're > looking for me or anyone else to come up with a RoR is a dud and CF > is god's own because of X, it's not going to happen.

But what you're saying is that there is no compelling reason to use CF. If we wanted RAD, then RonR is just as legit.... and cheaper! > I'm personally curious to see how you go as a RoR developer - nah, I don't like the syntax. I don't like PHP for the same reasons.

Sure, your right. the stuff is just a hammer. But we also know that developers don't always make the platform choices for projects. I give up. I'll shut up now. I must be the only person on-list that thinks RubyOnRails could make a serious dent to CF's market share. and that the current feature set - for the price and compared to other platforms - could do a lot more to entice projects to buy into CF. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
