Alright, I will join the discussion here as well, except I will come at it from the standpoint of CFMX/Neo and ASP.NET. However, many of the same arguments are still valid from CF5 and ASP 3.0, such as multiple platform support for ColdFusion.
I love the ColdFusion Component concept in CFMX, and the ability to call them as web services. ASP.NET has made HUGE strides over traditional ASP, especially in the management of DLL's (this is actually a benefit of the .NET Framework, not ASP.NET). Also, ADO.NET is greatly improved over traditional ADO. Lastly, with .NET, you have a suite of languages that can all talk to each other, pass data back and forth very easily, etc. However, ColdFusion still has more built-in functionality that I like. Its still easier, still faster to develop on, and CFMX is even faster than CF5. So which to go with? To me, it is still dependent on the application(s) you are developing, your web/app servers that you intend to run them on, and cost (including software purchase AND development time). If you are already a CF shop with little or no ASP background, stay with CF. I guarantee you that CFMX is worth the wait! Cheers, --Paul Paul W.

Anything is better then PERL anyways, heh I think CF5 blows ASP out of the water, like comparing an old Married with Children type of Dodge to a Corvette Rob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 11:14 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF VS ASP <- let the trolling being The only problem you have is that you are going to find alot of information comparing CF4.0 and ASP/IIS3.0. i would love to see a comparison between CF5.0, ASP/IIS5.0, and PHP4.

Knowing very little ASP myself, I do not know the many differences. Anyone know where I can find this? Pretty much looking for development time differences, execution speed, security and scalability at a bare minimum. Anyone know where I can find this?
