RE: CF VS .Net?

Have you priced RedHat Enterprise edition lately?  Last time I compared Microsoft, RedHat and Suse, they were all around the same price!!!   Jacob   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kent Irvin Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 9:59 AM To: list@dfwcfug.org Subject: Re: CF VS .Net? ASP is not free, in runs on a proprietary web server which requires Windows Y2K or higher.   That is not a free sceneario in my mind. Kent Knipp, Eric wrote: Tom, Did you go back to Thomson?

I've started doing some C# programming and agree that it's a waste of time to do C# without visual studio. The good thing that I've seen about C# and .net is that everything is an object. The intelli-sense in Visual Studio is awesome. I would love to see Macromedia/Adobe add that functionality to DreamWeaver. It would be cool as you code to know what methods and properties are available from your CFC. ColdFusion is hands down easier to develop with IMO. But that could be a factor of what you are used to. 8 or 9 years of CF development versus 2 weeks of C#. Hmmmmm. The knock on CF is that it's not free like ASP or PHP. Not sure of what VisualStudio costs, but that has to be included in the comparison.

I've done two smallish projects in C#, and if you don't use Visual Studio the amount of code you have to write is HEINOUS. If you plan to do any amount of .NET development whatsoever, add Visual Studio licenses to the total cost because writing all that code by hand is a nightmare. To me that's not a strength of the Visual Studio tool, it's a weakness of the language. ;-) I just don't understand why everything other than CF (and some J2EE servers of course) doesn't manage your datasources so you can have simple query statements like we have in CF, and that's just one example. All that extra code adds up quickly.
