Bad!
Second, you gotta love parentheses.
I've done a little PHP and ASP -- too granular for most of my needs.
(IMO).
I done several years of Perl -- can't even read my code anymore.
Don't know Ruby or Python.
I plan to use CF Anywhere I can (maybe even on the desktop-- that's
another story).
I love CF's simplicity and power and the tendency to be more
self-documenting that other languages,
I am in the process of learning Java to:
1) Extend CF Code when necessary
2) write desktop apps or browser applets when necessary.
I am in the process of learning SMIL -- an A/V manipulation and control
language for browser plugins and desktop players.
I hope that's all I will need.
