the Allaire guys did some pretty impressive stuff circa 1995...with CFML .....and lets not forget they were responsible for WDDX. Anything that stays around for 12 years on the web has a lot going for it and you are right in assuming . In the past remember that big companies like BSkyB were doing almost 100% CF development...seems to come in fits and starts; for example I seem to have gotten a lot of recruiter spam with lots of CF skillset requests...who knows why the uptick. As I said in my private post to you, I wouldn't use CF these days...but I also wouldn't use jsp, ASP.NET (forced by insane clients with either weapons or platinum...i might)....or anything of the kind having promised myself 2 years ago to stick with perl as much as possible (ok I am starting to drift to Objective C, but we will see where that goes). there is a comprehensive list of criticisms at the bottom of Wikipedia description http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColdFusion good luck, Jim Fuller On 3/29/07, Len Bullard <cbullard@h...> wrote: > My guess about the gig I'm looking at pre-interview is they are doing the > kinds of things that CF and Dreamweaver do well.
