Calvin, Development speeds between them are pretty the same. I do C# development as well as I did (and still do) CFML since the first CF versions. The development speed more or less depends on the person and its knowledge than on the language.
If you have basic understanding of OOP and the basics of modifiers, namespaces, etc. you will be starting quicker with the C# than the average CF developer. .NET pretty much forces you to think object oriented. I think that will be the most difficult part in the transition. Getting used to the language just takes some time and makes you wonder why in hell they made such an approach to method A and method B when in CF it was just that. The opposite counts for C# as well :) With Mono not up to shape the .NET platform is a Microsoft only platform. So if you are running in any other environment choose J2EE. There is a shift going on in enterprise companies, towards Windows 2003, so I expect the J2EE market to slightly drop. Either way, just give it shot, it won't bite.

Vince, Are you saying that .NET performs better than all J2EE implementation? What exactly do you mean by performance? While I know that Microsoft has come a long way in terms of reliability, how does that compare to Websphere, etc.? What value does platform integration with .NET provide over a J2EE implementation? Is it truly faster to develop with CFML + HomeSite/DW/CFEclipse over ..NET + Visual Studio? Thanks, Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Vince Bonfanti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 9:50 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Is BlueDragon.NET the greatest thing since sliced bread? Excellent question. I'm giving a talk at CFUNITED-05 entitled, "CFML on Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0: the .NET Advantage" on this specific topic. This talk will discuss the advantages of .NET versus Java/J2EE on Windows (it assumes you're already running Windows--this is not a Windows vs. Linux talk). In short, there are three main reasons to choose a .NET-based CFML server over a Java/J2EE-based CFML server when running on Windows: performance and reliability (which I cover in my talk), and platform integration with ASP.NET and the .NET Framework. For more on ASP.NET integration, Charlie Arehart is following with a talk entitled, "Integrating CFML and ASP.NET Server Controls." Of course, Charlie and I will be posting much of the information from these sessions on our respective blogs, and I assume the session material will be on the CFUNITED-05 web site after the conference is over. I guess while I'm plugging both CFUNITED-05 and BlueDragon (is this still on-topic?), for those more interested in free software--Linux, MySQL, Apache--Dave Epler is giving a talk entitled, "LAMBDA Boxes: ColdFusion Apps on the Cheap," which highlights the aforementioned open source products and the free BlueDragon Server (LAMBDA stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, BlueDragon). For more info on these and all the CFUNITED-05 sessions, see: http://www.cfunited.com/topics.cfm If you haven't yet made plans to attend CFUNITED, you really should (and, yes, there's going to be a lot of great speakers and sessions about CFMX 7, too--it's not a BlueDragon show).
