Agreed. But the most important thing is too understand the core concepts.

why others always don't take it seriously. I personally prefer to ONLY

And of course it's no different than languages.. If you write coldfusion

If done right ColdFusion is more than capable of
handling large scale and secure applictions. The key
is doing it right, but this is no different than ASP,
and Java.
Training and Code Reviews are key here.

I'm not sure where you get the last part
I would also suggest that a developer not be single
skilled. While clearly they cannot be expected to have
mastery of every language, I suspect that many could

It's a matter of balance. A complete knowledge of most languages is not
absolutely necessary.
Many developers can easily compete if they have:
1) a no nonsense work ethic,
2) a solid understanding of a languages syntax,
3) a good understanding of a languages abilities/limitations,
4) a strong fou

server-side scripting language in use today. And is a heck of a lot more

One of the things that MM finally did was offer a developer version of the

The fact that CF is too easy also means there are a lot of CF apps out
there that are not done properly--cf is easy to do, not always easy to do
right. We've run into this problem a lot where clients have seen very
poorly performing CF apps written by non-programmers.
