I don't know... I do most of an app in CF ('cause it's fast and easy).
Every now and again I will use cfobject (pre CFMX) to do things that CF
can't do -- like return a columnlist from a query in the same order in
which the columns were defined in the db (I know, I know -- it's an
interactive query utility).
Point is :
CF = high productivity 80-90% of the time
ASP-Like cfobject = more granular control 10-20% 0f the time
Seems to be a pretty good mix.
FOR CFMX, SSpose I need to learn Java well enough to replace the
cfobject capability!
Yeah, I can do ASP & Perl, but I am not productive enough to make a
profit doing it!
