For example the CFML developer base is growing but it is still considerably smaller than say the Java developer base. That being said the skill set you are looking for could still be more readily available in the CFML community. Long story short is you may see that as a disadvantage you may not. From a technology perspective nah. > > b.. Does CF replace ASP, Javascript/VBscript and flatfiles ? You'll want to learn the difference between client side and server side. That being said ASP.NET goes a bit out of the way to try and confuse that issue as much as possible and to an extent ColdFusion (and other CFML engines to a lesser extent) has done the same thing. The short answer is CF replaces the need for ASP and generates a good deal of Javascript for you. VBscript from a web perspective is a bad idea and CF is web based. Flatfiles was described well by others. c.. Is there a dependancy between Coldfusion and MySQL ? > Nope. ColdFusion connects to Databases via JDBC it ships with drivers for MySQL, MS SQL, Derby, among others. Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.
