Well another thing I found out this weekend reading through my ASP 3.0 book
is two things I think are a little slow in CF. First is that you can program
functions in ASP ie
sub Calculate()
code here
end sub
I dont know what the CF response to this is, perhaps the custom template
comes closest. I suspect there is a "function" function in CF but not well
versed with it yet. The other thing I am seeing in ASP 3.0 is extensive use
of XML conversion without having to go through regex or WDDX as we do now. I
havent read the full chapter but it looks like you can pull info from a XML
data island right in ASP. There's a lot of WDDX stuff out there for CF right
now but I'd like to see XSL for CF become more easier and widespread.
