Please forgive me Michael but I can't help but reply. Adrocknaphobia... you are a complete tool. If you were smart enough to know anything about .Net you would not have posted that worthless snippet of garbage. Seeings how CF is so easy for you then you should have a few days to spare to really dig into .Net and see what it's about. Microsoft provides far more support and far better dev tools to the .Net community than CF ever did or ever will. I am not a .Net programmer but I am smart enough to see what it has to offer to me as a developer.
If at some point when you are not so narrow minded and have some worth while experience in both .Net and CF then and only then will you be able to make a comparison of the two that does not make you sound foolish. As far as Rapid Application Development I'll challenge your Dreamweaver/HomeSite/Eclipse/WhatEver against Visual Studio. I am pretty certain that in the right hands the latest version of VS will generate more code for more things then all of your tools together. Your inability to provide an educated comparison of CF to .Net is a pretty good indication of your severe short comings as a developer. Maybe you should have a talk with Mr Churvis, he can offer you a good comparison that may give you a different mind set. And lastly, the guy with .Net experience will have far more opportunity than yourself and also be able to earn a fair bit more money than you. >Dear sir, > >I would love the opportunity to learn .NET! > >ColdFusion is just too easy and too powerful.
