I couldn't tell if he was talking about actual UI design and layout (as in WYSIWYG IDE's like DW), or he was talking about asynchronous Javascript web 2.0 stuff.
Didn't know CFB 2 came in a free version either, thanks for the info, though I have the CS Master suite myself. And you're right about developers having not used DW since forever. I dropped DW back when CFEclipse came out. Graduated from wysiwyg long ago. DW just can't handle what I do now, lol, but then again I haven't used it since I don't know. Besides, jobs and companies use CFB rather than DW nowadays. *Clint* On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 4:46 PM, Charlie Arehart <[email protected]>wrote: > We should add a note (for someone new to things like Eric) that CFBuilder 2 > is now available in a free edition also: it converts to that “Express” > edition (with some loss of functionality) at the end of the 60-day trial, if > you have not added (or until you add) a license. > > That said, CFB (and CFEclipse) don’t really help with UI design (one of > Eric’s questions).
