RE: ASP vs. CF

[Jacob Cameron]

Opinion:     I'd learn ANSI C or C++, if you haven't already, is my suggestion (Although I learned a lot from assembly for the 8086 also).  Then you'll find JAVA easy, and will quickly pick up on any new language no matter how convoluted.  Then after you get the basics down, decide if you want to follow the hype (on it's second service pack since February) .NET stuff:)     With JAVA and C concepts under your belt, you will have a better idea of what kind of coding you like and the market is always open for good programmers in both.  Then if you like ASP, CF, or .NET stuff, you can make an educated decision as to what you want to do.  I like doing CF, ASP, and VB, but have a history in a lot.  I play with .NET in my spare time, but I am yet to be impressed.       Jacob   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of KNOWLTON, JUSTIN J (SWBT) Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 9:32 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: ASP vs. CF Good Morning Everyone, I have a non-coding related question for the group.    What is the difference between coding in ASP and CF? ASP seems to be a very complex (though powerful) language while Cold Fusion seems to be able to do the same things with simpler code. Yet the majority of sites I see are in ASP.   I am about to start schooling to pick up another language and I am leaning towards JAVA but am not sure if it would also be in my best interest to learn ASP as well.   Thanks, Justin Knowlton SBC Communications -- LSC Web Team Alliance, TX
