I am guessing the range and average cost of a programmer for each language is 
roughly the same.

I am guessing the rank of the average time of development is (in descending 
order) .NET, Java, PHP, Coldfusion

I am guessing the rank of the 'steepness' of the learning curve would be in the 
reverse order.

The obvious Pro/Con is initial cost. Coldfusion is not free (and hosts often 
charge more for coldfusion hosting)

For PHP and Java you must collect your own code libraries. (which is something 
you might happily pay for)

There is a trade off with the dev time/steepness thing. Anything You Do Quickly 
Will Have To Be Done Again.

Subject: [cfaussie] Statistics on ColdFusion... and other languages

I'm preparing a document that will allow www.certainedge.com to make an 
unbiased business decision on what application server/language to use. But am 
finding it hard to gather concrete evidence and statistics on the following;

- average cost of employee in Australia; PHP, Java, .NET and ColdFusion
- average time of development
- learning curve
- pro's and con's for each one
 
Does anyone know where to find some statistics that are reliable?
 
Cheers
