> * Very few good programmers available on this point, ASP.NET does not a good programmer make. in fact I'd argue that some parts of ASP.NET actually support bad habits, if you compare against Java best practices.
lots of CF "good programmers" are "good programmers" origionally from other languages - who seem to have no trouble picking CF up and doing well, esp if they come with some Java background. I know of at least one place that has Managers have a habit of pideon-holeing people. "he's a CF programmer" "she's a Java programmer" instead of "he's a CF programmer" "she's a Java programmer needing a bit of CF experiance to get up to speed but will bring a new perspective to development practices." can anyone suggest a free poll? I wouldn't mind doing a quick Vox Poll on some questions: - how many languages did you seriously use before comming to ColdFusion (Pascal doesn't count unless it was object Pascal/Delphi, HTML or SQL doesn't count but Javascript does) (1) ColdFusion was my first main language (2) I learnt another programming language first (not Pascal) (3) I learnt two other languages before comming to ColdFusion (4) I learnt 3-5 other languages before comming to ColdFusion but I'm not old enough to be classified as "reverent" status as indicated in Answer 5 (5) I have the experiance of many programming languages under my belt over many years and ColdFusion is only one of them On 10/17/06, George Lu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My boss asked me to get on ASP.NET.
