Re: CF or C F ?
Yes as Erik says - its one word. It just take a quick peek at Macromedia.com (or adobe.com) to see that it's quite consistently spelled as one word. Seeing it as two words on a resume or on a job posting is an interesting indicator of how long someone's been around (or their attention to detail), but shouldn't be a make or break type of thing unless you have 100 resumes to look at and need something silly to separate out a few of them. Also, as Beau points out, it's quite common to see it used both ways in job posts so it's always a good idea to search for both spellings when you do job searches. -Cameron On 1/25/06, Erik Voldengen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It was C F back in the 3.x and before days. Then they moved to CF around 3.1. I think it's because they either claimed a trademark or copyright on ColdFusion, which would probably be harder to do with Cold Fusion. Plus, it's cooler, which may have been the main factor to begin with. So...Cold Fusion = newbie (or old school??) ColdFusion = those in the know. ___ Erik Voldengen2037 NW Lovejoy 503-226-7099 Fusium, Inc.

I asked a major player in the CF world a few years ago What is the correct spelling of the word/term CF. Is it ColdFusion or Cold Fusion and he said, it's either or. If you do a CF job look-up on indeed.com for ColdFusion and Cold Fusion: http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=cold+fusionl=rl=1 http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=coldfusionl=sort= You'll see hundreds of CF jobs under each spelling of the word ColdFusion (or is it Cold Fusion?) Are all those CTOs and HR people who posted the job wrong? Please advise. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: CF or C F ?
I think with it being quite commonly spelled both ways it might be good to mix it up on resumes ;) That way it might make it through any automatic filtering On 1/25/06, Cameron Childress [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Also, as Beau points out, it's quite common to see it used both ways in job posts so it's always a good idea to search for both spellings when you do job searches. -Cameron ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:11:2853 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/11 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:11 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: CF or C F ?
Just copy the complete job post that you want to the end of your resume. Make sure to turn the font white, so they recruiters don't see that you copied there post. I bet you'll get calls. Despite what Cameron said in the previous post, I would hold it against someone who uses Cold Fusion on their resume. Either a) They have no attention to detail (bad) b) Are a complete newbie and don't understand that they are making a mistake. (forgivable if you are looking for a newbie) C) They have been around a while, but are doing nothing to further themselves as a programmer or keep up on current trends. We're not talking about the knowing the latest and greatest framework here, we're talking about the name of the technology. If ColdFusion is trademarkable, then I bet that there are no problems trademarking Cold Fusion. I thought the name change from Cold Fusion to ColdFusion was to separate the programming jobs from nuclear physicist jobs. ( Of course, it has not had that affect since so many people get it wrong) At 09:11 PM 1/25/2006, you wrote: I think with it being quite commonly spelled both ways it might be good to mix it up on resumes ;) That way it might make it through any automatic filtering On 1/25/06, Cameron Childress [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Also, as Beau points out, it's quite common to see it used both ways in job posts so it's always a good idea to search for both spellings when you do job searches. -Cameron ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:11:2854 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/11 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:11 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
