1. When fighting an argument 1st let the other party explain why ColdFusion
is NOT suitable for Enterprise Solutions.
EX.
Ask them why ColdFusion is NOT suitable for Enterprise Solutions?
What makes ColdFusion NOT suitable for Enterprise Solutions?
What does ColdFusion NOT provide that is needed for an Enterprise Solution?
After asking this SHUT up and write down everything they suggest is wrong
with it.
Security?
Load Balance?
Expandability?
Com Objects?
Cobra?
Java?
EJBs?
Then take a list of their arguments and show how each of these or any other
subject they can come up with ColdFusion will support it.
All of it and more.
But don't try fighting the unknown. They simply don't want ColdFusion so
they will say all kind of unsupported claims.
Example:
One of my bosses said to a client we will not use Frames... (there are
reasons to not use frames)
The client asked why won't you use frames...
My boss said that it was harder to code with frames... (Bad Argument.)
Even if frames are hard to code if the customer wants frames then we should
go ahead and give them frames...
However if he had said Frames are bad because
1. The users can not be sure of what they are going to print.
2. The users can not be sure of what they are going to bookmark.
3. Some users have grown to not like frames so it may put a bad taste in
their mouth.
4. We are trying to reach the largest audience possible and their will be
some people with very old browsers that do not support frames.
Before planning to fight an argument in the next meeting got to the Oracle
WebDB and ask the above questions or some like it and see what their
response is then you can prepare to ask them again in the meeting knowing
their answers and don't let them know your answers when you ask them so they
will find out the answers in the meeting and realize you have done your
homework.
Good Luck let us know how it goes.
As you can see I am for ColdFusion... and FuseBox...
This brings out a passion in me like none other.
Good Luck,
