Ah yes, another great point, James, and something I do also remember sharing with others some years ago.
Good to be reminded that the more some things change, the more they stay the same. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Dismukes Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2015 10:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [houcfug] Meeting: 20th Anniversary I’ve heard that Coldfusion dying discussion ever since I started in this business, like when .NET came out in the early 00’s and people said that CF would never make it with Microsoft giving away server software for free. I think the Coldfusion era still has a lot of life left as well J -James From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charlie Arehart Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 11:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [houcfug] Meeting: 20th Anniversary It’s interesting you say that, James. I, too, had been a mainframer (system administrator) for about 15 years before getting into CF in about late ’96 (CF 3.0). I transitioned to it because everyone said the mainframe was dying, and of course it still thrives. Complex enterprise apps just aren’t easily tossed aside, even if “the masses” decide to regard something as old hat. Same with CF, and heck, same with some of us ourselves! :-) I look forward to continuing to do CF server troubleshooting for years to come. My rate of work doing that as an independent consultant has not changed in several years, and I don’t see it changing now or in the foreseeable future, despite the accusation of CF “dying”. Like you say: been there, done that. And we’ve even got the t-shirts, whether they fit or not! :-) /charlie -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
