HAHAHAHA! That's hilarious. Comparing FrontPage to Coldfusion is like comparing chocalate cake to a box of screws. They aren't even remotely the same thing. He needs to compare ASP VS. Coldfusion or FrontPage VS. Dreamweaver. FrontPage isn't for programming or scripting, ASP is. Is he just dumb as a rock?
Personally, I like ASP and Coldfusion. Coldfusion is faster and easier, ASP is a little more precise and is VB friendly. The VB.Net and Web Forms stuff looks really cool. FrontPage, as others have mentioned, is used by Mom and Pop shops for doing design and layout, because it's so much like MS word and such, and has all this prefabricated templates. But it isn't even a good design tool. A real design shop is going to do the front end using Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Fireworks, GoLive, etc. for the HTML and graphics, and is going to use ASP, JSP, Coldfusion, PHP, etc for the back end database stuff. But no place professional is going to touch FrontPage because it isn't a good tool. Notice that I'm not Anti-Microsoft, I'm just Anti-FrontPage and I taught it for CompUSA training centers for 2 years. When you work in FrontPage, you end up with a design that looks like everyone else's and doesn't look good in Netscape. Of course, I'm SURE everyone will agree that it has IMPROVED SO MUCH in the 2002 version. As far as why there are so many FrontPage users, why are there so many people that eat at McDonald's? Is it because its the best food in the world? -Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin Hansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 4:40 PM Subject: "Why aren't there more CF programmers out there?" > A higher up said "If ColdFusion was so easy to learn why aren't there more > CF programmers out there?" > > So what do I tell him? > > How many CF Developers are there? > How many sites use CF? > > Is there a Macromedia rep in the house? > > He thinks FrontPage is the way to go.... > > Let the games begin! > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
