Keep in mind that the Java .class file portability is only something that was mentioned in early whitepapers and some early demo's - until this is confirmed as being in the next product, I would caution against basing any business models on what is, until in a production-level product, vapor-ware.

I doubt MM would (nor should they be obligated to). However, I think (with the exception of CFX's and encrypted tags) the beauty of open source comes out (believe it or not, there's more to open source than politics and Slashdot MS bashing) - many eyes, so problems are unlikely to go unnoticed.

My request: 1) remember the focus on CF as a programming language. Don't throw in every cool feature known to humankind. If you do, you'll have an application server that takes 1 gb to load into memory! If you have to, make additional "features" modular (like PHP, ASP, Perl, JSP, etc do - the

I wouldn't want to see too much of that. A quick glance shows over 3000 custom tags in the Gallery - who chooses which custom tags go in? And that wouldn't solve your problem - if you have 100 custom tags you use today, and 99 of them are "integrated" in a future edition, you still have to play

I agree 100%. C++ and VB syntax covers most of what you have down there, and the fundamentals of those languages prepares for pretty much anything else you'll run across. A couple of extra concepts, like OO and SQL, and you're really cooking. --- Billy Cravens -Original Message- From:
