thank you bryan! let matt be matt, i kinda was waiting for his response, i knew it would be very matt ;-)
anyhow, the truth of the matter is this....if i can develop rich cf applications for companies in half the time, that it might take an asp coder to do it, with half the code, i will, and until something better comes along, thats what im doing... of course there is other code to the cfmail tag, what idiot wouldnt know that? but the point was, from a developers prospective, why waste your time on asp or php or anything like that, when you can simply make the BIGGEST BADDEST web apps in the world, with an easy to use tag based markup language. i didnt ask the toyota dealer if he used craftsman tools to build my celica, i simply asked him if it worked, and when i turned the ignition on, it worked, i was pleased. tony.... -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 5:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF vs. ASP Matt I think Tony is bang on. Yes the additinal code may be hidden from us, but because of that fact we can develop faster and reduce development costs for clients. That said I still think it's good to know a few langauges and that's why I'm starting on ASP.NET, Java, and a smidge of PHP to round it out....geesh I sound like a geek don't I ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
