The problem I have with CF is that it is designed for the web. So little of what I do now is web based.
It seems silly to pay that money for something, when the tools I already have do the same thing, and often better. CF is a good language for web sites, but when it came time to resell applications, it was a hindrance. The code is easily readable by the purchaser, and the cost of the server makes people back away. If I'm doing my own hosting, and licensing the application it is one thing, but setting up a server farm, becomes another cost point. > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam Haskell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 2:33 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Why is coldfusion better. > > Heh unless someone wants a CF developer that has a loose understanding of > OO > and Java (read I have supported Java apps, and enhanced them, never > written > one from ground up) and is willing to help me rellocate from Ohio then I > am > guessing leaving is not an option, though from my understanding Walmart is > a > great employer (loads silver bullets for zombie thread). > > Fact is I don't mind java, hell I enjoy programing in it and learning more > about it, I just think its a bad business decision to move away from > Coldfusion.
