Oliver, What area of CF did you find frustrating? What kind of project?
Thanks, Brad Fetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Tupman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 1:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF or .DotNet what do you think? Hi Eric, Just thought I'd throw in my two pennies worth about this. I'm using CF having come from a software engineering start via PHP (which I loved). Before anyone yells at me I can see the benefits that CF gives, and two of our directors have made huge, highly reliable websites with it. [soapbox] But I do hate CF. The reason is that I'm used to the power that PHP generally gives me and I don't like the syntax. And that's just for starters. This is purely a personal opinion from a programmer, just like an opinion about your next door neighbour's new car, or the state of one's government. [/soapbox] If you decide to go the CF way, understand that quite a few of your developers may spend hours banging their heads against CF. I spend about 2 hours a day doing that. Could be because most programmers are control freaks and so like to be able to control every last detail of their application. CF takes some of that away from you of course many argue this is a good thing. Personally I'd think that VB developer could make the switch to CF relatively easily, but what one might call a 'hard-core' programmer may well have problems with the switch. In that case I'd seriously think about doing the CF + Java route, but I'd say that about the same as going a PHP + Smarty route. -- Oliver Tupman Key Systems Geotechnical ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
