Barry, No the raw numbers really can't compare, it is a big indication yes.
The problem is that and I'll have to say this because it is a catch 22 situation, and the evidence is in what has already been discussed. People are having a hard time finding Coldfusion developers, those who are coldfusion developers can't find work. So those who can't find the developers move to something with the resources, and those who can't get the work go to where the work is. This has been the trend that I have seen for the last 5 years, the problem is going to be how to break the cycle.

Andrew, are you talking about raw numbers compared to .NET, Java, PHP? then yes you're right - the available positions at any one time can't compare http://www.seek.com.au/jobsearch/index.ascx?DateRange=31&Keywords=coldfusion &searchfrom=quick but with such low numbers (both of available developers and of positions available) small fluctuations impact greatly - businesses not finding CF people and therefore going elsewhere is one concern in such conditions. having said that, the project I'm now finishing off certainly wasn't origionally written by an experianced CF developer... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
