I think the key is well-rounded.... Most of us cannot just know CF... We have to know HTML, css, javascript... We have to know how to cut up images and make templates.
One of the things I like to do in an interview is ask the interviewee what they love most about ColdFusion. Most people, in my experience, will just tell you that they love the easy of development. But the second you get someone who gets all gushy about how awesome query of queries is or how useful it is that CF is built on top of Java, these should be flags that this person knows there stuff. That's how I *find* good programms... As far as who are the best one's out there??? Just take a look at the the peole on Fullasagood.com or feed-squirrel.com... There are a lot of regulars that post about frameworks, OOP, and real architecture type stuff that is, IMO, way beyond the level that most of us function at ( I won't list names cause I don't want to leave anyone out ). .......................

When I run ads, I get all types of Yahoo's who think they know ColdFusion. I'd like to be able to see who are the very best ColdFusion coders out there and try to steal one of them for my company. How do you guys find the absolute best coders when hiring? If you want to put comments on my blog, that'd be nice. http://jonathanblock.com/blog/jonsblog/100bestcoldfusionprogrammers Jon (ps - if you are a recruiter, DO NOT contact me) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:250913 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
