Six months ago you could have tempted me to move to Melbourne from Perth. As it is now however I was tempted to Europe instead, now working in The Hague - just don't mention the weather... :) B) On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 9:48 PM, Dave wrote: > Hi there, > > I was wondering if there are any mid-s

See that is the thing Dale, your experience is different to the next. I know of 7 companies just in the last 3 years alone, who couldn't get developers and have emailed me. When I ask them what version they are using, so I can ask around, I almost fall over backwards when they say ColdFusion 5.

Not sure I agree with that, I haven’t come across any companies using CF5 for a very long time, most are 8 or 9. Still there are lot of spaghetti applications out there good developers don’t want to work on and a lot of spaghetti developers that good companies don’t want. cfaussie is

yep, there are still a few of us around... the challenge has always been 'which stone to look under' * Seek and the like are full of the new toys, PHP, Rails and a bit of .net * The CFUGs of old have long since disappeared.. Even CFaussie has seen better days... but there are a few of us around

It has been my experience that those finding it difficult to get developers, are themselves using older version of ColdFusion, mainly version 5. And that is a problem in itself... Not saying this is that case here, but something to consider. And personally the money usually on offer for developing

I'm guessing a lot of us got sick of the daily grind of finding people who would pay for our skills and went off on our own projects. I dont look for contracting work any more - sometimes it comes my way, but I'm just not interested in talking to whippersnappers who think cos i"m over 40 years old
