Hi Dusty, Yes, you're able to use the free edition of BlueDragon for a non-profit site. If you ever have any questions about this, you should seek clarification via [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vince Bonfanti New Atlanta Communications, LLC http://www.newatlanta.com
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dusty Hale Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Client talking points I’m still confused about Blue Dragon pricing. It seems pretty much the same as CF. I was under the impression that the Free Blue dragon would not allow multiple connections and was for development. And what is the definition of a personal site by Blue Dragon terms? My main thought is that if Blue Dragon cost is comparible with CF then what is the advantage of using it? I was considering using Blue Dragon because one of my clients could not afford a cf license for their server but I assume since they have a site on it that makes money from banners ads that the free version does not quailify. However, the site is a non-profit org owned by the chamber of commerce in Negril, Jamaica. Am I able to use the free version for this. Back in Atlanta soon :-( Signed – A confused developer :-) Dusty _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Haygood Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 12:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Client talking points My favorite thing about CF: BlueDragon Server (the free one). Works great for those sites that don’t generate enough revenue to justify the cost of ColdFusion MX. I use it on my own non-work related websites :-) (My salary doesn’t permit me a personal ColdFusion license for personal websites). Though it only does ODBC, ODBC is fine if your traffic levels are really low, almost no difference in performance between ODBC and JDBC drivers below a certain traffic limit.

Every major RDBMS is supported with either native drivers or the ability to use JDBC drivers that worked rather seamlessly. CF uses every major OS. CF uses every major web server as well.

What about BlueDragon (if you don't already have an Adobe CF server)? We had a customer say that they didn't want a calendar in our application because it would take to long to program. Um, cfcalendar anyone? mcg Clarke Bishop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/07/2006 11:25 AM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Client talking points Hi Seth. I am first and foremost a business guy. I'm currently managing projects in both .Net and ColdFusion. Of course, both work great and can be used to create nearly any application. Unless there's a compelling reason to use .Net (The project is for Microsoft or there's some other religious commitment to .Net), I prefer ColdFusion. The only downside is the extra cost to license CF, but this is quickly made up through: - Faster Development - Lower Cost Development - In general, CF developers with comparable capabilities are less expensive than their .Net counterparts. I don't have any stats for you, but this is the bottom line: Faster, Cheaper, and Just as Good. Clarke _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] On Behalf Of Tepfer, Seth Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 9:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Client talking points I have been in the preliminary stages with a client. I had set up an extensive project charter and a prototype website. Suddenly this client emails me last night and says "I think I should be using .net instead of ColdFusion. Let's meet on Thursday afternoon and discuss this" I am looking for some quick and dirty speaking points to say why CF over other languages (including .net). The obvious ones to me are * rapid development * ease of maintenance * less time in development/maintenance = lower bottom line * other? * stats to justify this? I do not want to start a flame war over .net versus CF. I'm just looking for speaking points (perhaps with some URLs for reference for some useful statistics). Any help would be appreciated. If this has been done previously and is archived in an FAQ, please point me in the right direction. I didn't see clear case justification at the Adobe/MM site – is it there and I just missed it? Thanks.
