I'll be upfront and honest and you can take this however you want to.. but.. I've in the past been seeing a healthy amount of requests on folks wanting:
- How do I migrate from CF to ASP.NET - How do I retrain CF folks to ASP.NET - Barnesy, hook me up with some .NET jobs.. (thus my butt kicking a while back for daring to ask whom wanted help with this?) These are from customers / friends in the CF biz, does this mean CF Is doomed? no (doubtful).. but its what I'm seeing...I think the skill shortage in Australia is what's driving this perception, my advice is to get back out there, hit the pavements and start stimulating the CF Community again. I state this as I think a large bulk of folks have moved onto Flex development or migrated to another language (Java, .NET, Ruby and PHP are big in Australia). - Scott.
