I was able to move a CF5 mini-cms application over to bluedragon 3.1 (free) without any major problems .. just connecting to a mySQL DB etc etc. ..
I've also built a small network monitor and some other tiny things I would have to have used PHP/Perl to do because the company wouldn't want to fork out 1000 quid for just an intranet application ! The reason why I first started looking at it was that I had a bunch of small apps that would take me no time to write in CF but would turn into a bit of a mission to do them in Perl/PHP (and I wasn't gonna touch ASP with a barge-pole) but the cost of the server was a no-no ! What was a bit annoying was that I had got used to CFFUNCTION/CFARGUMENT for all my functions and had to convert a few of them back .. but then this should be solved in BD6.1 !

Stephen for those of us who have absolutely no experience with Blue Dragon and only a hazy grasp of what it can do (I realise this might only be me!) can you give us a couple of examples how you used it and the type of applications it has worked well.
