Hi Alan, I am not taking a stand but i know that it is said that CF is slow even though it might very well be an outdated point. That is my point, that that outdated stand remains alive. What should be done to sweep it away?
Did you also not say, in this mail of yours, that PHP is chosen for it's freeness and IDE etc. rather than performance...does that mean performance wise PHP is also on a weak wicket as CF but because of the rather powerful networks and hardware we have that should not matter? Is that your case? We face terrible amount of dropped requests on my e-commerce www.semiprecious.com despite huge RAM. Currently on ACF. Fearful to move it to openBD....will openBD be slower? Cryptic to debug (socket/ODBC pooling/caching...in that esoteric domains)? -nitish 2011/8/20 Alan Williamson (aw2.0 cloud experts) <[email protected]> > > > nitish pandey wrote: > >> 1.What is the technique for building these tags and the process? >> > If you know Java, and you know what you want, jump in.
