Very good point.
When I was interviewing here I asked specific questions about
problems I ran
into while coding our products. I also asked about things we wanted
to
start incorporating like CFCONTENT or the FuseBox methodology.
Finally, I
made the candidate discuss what should go into the template
Appliction.cfm
in thier opinion. And I made them defend thier opinion. On that,
there was
no wrong answer except not to have an opinion. That final question
was
meant solely to get thier thought process and guage how well they knew
ColdFusion.
