While I'm no huge fan of either, if you look at objective metrics like Tiobe http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm (VB6 #5 vs CF #32) or the latest info from Tim O'Reilly's book sales information http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/05/state_of_the_co_10.html (10% market share among the major language sellers) you'll see that CF is by those two metrics not very popular. It's still a poorly researched, sensational, and idiotic article in ComputerWolrd (eg using the quote from an AS/400 shop to talk about the PC network being dead? An *AS/400* shop?) but I think we're all fooling ourselves if we think ColdFusion is poised for huge growth. The other interesting thing to take away from the O'Reilly article is the growth of *Actionscript* (I'll confirm w/ my buddy there that they include Flex there) but that's pretty solidly growing which is good for Adobe and good for our community. The Flex session/BOF at RailsConf in Portland last week overflowed into the hall which was interesting to say the least. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 May 2007 09:50 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: ComputerWorld declares CF dead > > I suggest if you really want to wake these people up send an email to: > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] vice president/editor in chief > > Then maybe stupid stories will be edited correctly.... > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:279220 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
