What is B of A running behind the scenes? How can you tell from the front end verses the back end?
Very good point.

Present a few examples where ColdFusion is show to be trustworthy, present a few where it's shown to cut development costs, present a few showing decreased maintenance. Cost, reliability, interoperability, cling to those aspects. You can even take the Hal Helms approach, whereby you prove Java (which is very easy), then say "O, so we'll use some ColdFusion too, it's just pre-built java code you can purchase". Chris, I wouldn't promote a companies use of CF just by a URL. The Bank of America front end may be built in CF because CF is so presentation friendly, but their online backing system is most definitely not running CF. -Daniel Elmore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Jordan Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 3:12 PM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: Re: [DFW CFUG] Why Cold Fusion vs Java? vs PHP? vs .ASP? etc. Kipp, Here's a major success for ya: http://www.bankofamerica.com/index.cfm?page=corp_bofacom (notice the .cfm in the url) And Bank Of America is not only a huge company, but their online banking is some of the slickest I've seen. Hope that helps. Chris Baker, Kipp wrote: Group, I know you've heard this question before - but I'd like some succinct reasons why you prefer CF over other technologies. Why is it the best tool for the job? (Define "the job" => for me its Web Development. The fact that it's "Rapid" is just icing on the cake; ...define "best" => fewer lines of code, less time spent coding, easier to repair, etc...) What's the talent pool like versus the other technologies out there? What are some major successes of CF? (Does Adobe count?...I think so...) I'm looking to put together a rationale for why CF to senior management authorities. Point me to URLs? Sure. I know Ben Forta and others, but I'd like some personal testimonials too. Thanks for the replies - and the help. (Need answers by next Tuesday - November 7, 2006) Regards, Kipp Baker ============================== Manager, Web Communications BellHelicopter Textron, Inc.
