Hi I'm a CFML developer from Argentina.
Some days ago I talked with a colleague about an implementation of an interface between our two servers. Then we have the following talk: He: "What language do you use... Php, asp...?" Me: "ColdFusion" He: "Uhmm... that's cool... if you have need of some graphic design in your development" After this I showed him my development and he understand that there's nothing of "graphic design" in it :) Dante PS: Sorry for my translation :) On Feb 8, 8:48 pm, "Alan Williamson (aw2.0 cloud experts)" <[email protected]> wrote: > As some of you know, we at aw2.0, are aggressively recruiting for a > variety of roles namely CFML and Java.
