I know there are a lot of you ColdFusion guys on the list, and I
think that's really cool. You definitely add a lot to this list. Some
day I hope to be able to play around with it myself. By the way, that
comment about Rey writing a book was just a joke. Just poking at Rey
a bit, all in good fun. I probably should have clarified that with
more than an emoticon.

Karl, I'm with John Farrar: ColdFusion guys is, maybe, the most
active group from this list. ;-) I'll wait Rey Bango CF+jQuery
(maybe talking about ajaxCFC???).
Thanks Karl for your time with jQuery.
Cheers

(One complaint, where are the ColdFusion examples? You should
have that also. Not put off that you do PHP, but you are not
going to hit a market segment like you want if you don't spread
out just a bit.)
For that, you'll have to buy Rey Bango's upcoming book: jQuery and
ColdFusion, a Marriage Made in Heaven.
:-p
Hi John,
I realized after I sent this that it might have come across too
flippant. Sorry about that. The serious answer is that given the
constraints we had to work with, we weren't able to venture into
other server-side languages. Also, we had to strike a balance
between giving enough server-side code to have the (ajax) examples
be useful and not giving so much as to distract from the main focus
of the book. We chose PHP for two reasons, (1) it's a very popular
server-side language and (2) it's the sever-side language we
ourselves are most familiar with.
We also wrote 2 1/2 times more than we had originally contracted
for, so, if anything, we were trying to keep word count down.
That said, if the publisher ever wants us to write a second
edition, this might be the sort of thing we could add. Maybe an
additional ajax chapter showing how to achieve one task with jQuery
+ PHP, jQuery + ColdFusion, jQuery + Python, etc. Other books have
done that sort of thing in later editions, so it's not out of the
question, I suppose.
Again, I'm really happy to hear that you like the book.
Cheers,
Karl
