Webdude, It isn't that hard, until you want to get to the finer points. I started first by installing MAMP on my mac. It installed just as advertised and I was able to get my feet wet on my laptop at my leisure. Then I installed on an old 386 box, Ubuntu version of Linux. I downloaded it,

Janet, I feel your pain. I have been busy downloading stuff and poking around. I have read hundreds of pages on just the install stuff for Apache, MySQL, PHP, ColdFusion, .NET... I even spent a day on nothing but open source. I have a spare server I have been thinking of using just to try some

I was wondering what to say until I saw this email from Webdude "Well, I have a problem and maybe some of you could help me. I have been using nothing but Tango and Witango since I started developing many years ago" Yes this is my story also. Pretty good at SQL ( MS SQL) triggers, stored proc

<@COPOUT> He said that responding to the accusations of Robert would just fan the flames and he would not get involved in a public debate about all of that stuff. He said that if anyone was concerned, they could contact him directly like I did. He believed that if he didn't respond to the list, the

Beverly, I agree. There's no joy in being the "back channel." But then again, some news is better than none at all. Mikal On 10/23/2008 5:36 AM, Beverly Voth wrote: On 10/23/08 2:12 AM, "Ben Johansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in whole or in part: Hey Rick did you read Mikal's Post of em

Hey Rich, No, I wish it was that easy! I'm merely comparing the types of files. A cfm is like a taf and a cfc is like a tcf file. But, it's an easier learning curve than ASP.net. Rick Sanders Webenergy Canada: 902-431-7279 USA: 919-799-9076 Canada: www.webenergy.ca USA: www.webenergyu

Now that's a little too harsh. I doubt that they made alot of money from WiTango. As for it being the best commercial product, not anymore it's not. Cold Fusion & ASP.net have many more features than WiTango 5.5 has and can do quite a bit more right out of the box. WiTango was the best for awhile,

Hey Ben, It's too bad that Phil needs to use Mikal to relay his messages. I think what we're looking for is an official announcement on this list or their website (which hasn't been updated in years). I don't think we're looking for a shred of hope, or some grapevine news. I believe we deserve to
