Not really. I know there are those that develop in Notepad or Homesite, but most will agree that CF Studio is the "tool of choice" for professional CF Development. Most forms of education have requisites for classes - books, materials, etc.
However, I'll agree that providing a devloper liscense for CF is a smart move. Not necessarily for education, but it is (was) stupid for Allaire/Macromedia to not offer a "developer" liscense when competing technologies (like ASP, PHP, and others) are either free or offer a developers liscense for free. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffry Houser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 3:23 PM Subject: Re: Step in the rigth direction --Developer Edition > That is a pretty expensive requirement for a class isn't it?
