Easier to understand and code for who? Some people enjoy coding in
other languages and aren't looking for ease of use...

Hehe... maybe CF just needs updated marketing:
Learn Coldfusion. Get a Job. Enjoy it.
seems like a good marketing plan if you know any out of work java or
php folks, or those that hate their job. Come learn CF: its easier
to understand and code. Lots of people looking for CF developers...

Well, if I can play devil's advocate for a moment, it's a nice
thought (the
doubling effect) but in reality the number of people who read CF
blogs (let
alone any one) is pretty small, so while we can hope that word could
spread,
it seems we should not get our hopes up of seeing hundreds, tens, or
honestly even thousands of new CF developers. :-)
I mean, sure, it could happen, either by this effort or just
naturally. CF
sales and interest are definitely picking up, so no one should read
my note
as being anything less than enthusiastic about it, as always. Just
seems
that a note of pragmatism is in order. No offense intended toward
John (or
Sean), of course. And maybe you meant the "doubling" as a somewhat
tongue in
cheek suggestion. Anyway, thanks for sharing the link. Good thoughts
(and
LOTs of comments already).

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Convert a non-CF developer to CF
Sean Corfield did a very interesting blog entry last week about the
marketing and growth of the CF community. It's well worth the read..
http://corfield.org/blog/index.cfm/do/blog.entry/entry/Common_ColdFusion_Arg
uments
Sean gives a little challenge or new year's resolution if you like
at the
end. Simply convert a non-CF developer to CF. Pretty simple really.
Apparently there's about 400,000 CF developers out there these days.
If we
each did our part, we could easily double that.
