When you look at it like that, how much is .NET Studio? About the same cost as a CFServer License? PRO version anyway. Yet you can, as I would imagine many people on this list are doing, either still developing their CF apps on software thats 3 yrs old or is free like eclipse.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it would be very difficult to develop a .NET application using something as simple as notepad. When you start to compare costs like that, not only in development, but in tools and having to constantly upgrade tools to take advantage of new features in your application servers, then you start to see the real cost of development. This is even more so when you have teams of coders doing stuff, having to fork out that sort of money to set up each work station with the required development environments with software, then start to look how much it blows the cost of development out of the water. Thats it from me for now:) Steve -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of <cfgroupie> Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 2:09 PM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Why buy into CF? The issue isn't if BlueDragon is cheaper or not. The fact of the matter is the Server licences cost to much. We have are "LARGE" application that is writtin in CF but will be pushed to .NET because its cheaper to buy studio and distribute our application then it is to buy CF server/s licence and then our cost of the application on top of that. Sorry Adobe/MM/Allaire have it ass backwards. J. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
