I can see your point...
But let me bring up another point:
"42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot."
lol j/p
Okay seriously,
after looking back at the previous thread....that was just hilarous.
Someday people will realize that programming languages are just tools for us to use to complete the tasks we have been given. Then just maybe, people will stop treating some of the languages like they are worth nothing, because each language seems to be able to "be the best" depending on the situation.
Its going to be even funnier when 30 years from now, when the languages have all matured and newer ones are coming out....
I concede the point. Coldfusion is disliked by just as many people who like it.
Now, the question is: What do you tell Hungarians who come to the US, and all they know is how to program in Hungarian notation?

why would anybody PAY MONEY for Coldfusion? It's $1299 for the standard edition!
If the company is paying for it...then why does it matter?

Me and my cricket bat would like to meet the person who came up with that.
Do you hate it just because it looks like HTML...
What are your reasons?
Oh, sorry, I thought it was clear. :)
Find me a syntax as ill-suited and cumbersome to use for programming as the HTML syntax. HTML is an information syntax, and not designed to carry instructions. Would you enjoy programming using nothing but strings in the array shorthand?
Good point....

Waste of time. EVERYBODY hates coldfusion. I stumble upon a cfm page once every two thousand years.
Thats not true... While I don't LOVE Coldfusion, I use it everyday, so I don't hate it.
Excuse me if I am being naive...
What did he write the wrapper in?

Everything will work great in QA. Nobody will ever figure out what happens in production. Solution: reboot the production machine every two weeks.
God, I swear I have heard that one before.

Well done! How long do you estimate it will take to convert the thing into seperate pages for each entry with pictures, comment pages, and an interactive timeline?This is 2007 - you'd have to format it as a blog.
Oh god, thats the last thing we need. Then all of a sudden, millions of developers around the world start building commerical buildings and the commerical industry crumbles, all because of one damn blog...

Yes, I use it at work..
No, i agree I wouldn't pay for it myself either. But I have to admit, for what I am doing it works pretty good.
If we get problems with it, normally we just use Flex or Java.
It also depends on what framework you use: (i.e. Fusebox, Mach II, etc..)
Everyone hates Oracle.
Even if you are a DBA, guess what? You'll end up hating Oracle and everything about it!
Hey Everyone,
I figured I'd bring up a debate over Coldfusion, since I haven't seen an article about it.
Wikipedia describes Coldfusion briefly as:
"An application server and software development framework used for the development of computer software in general, and dynamic web sites in particular."
I use Coldfusion daily, and it has come to be a Love-Hate relationship. However, it seems to do the job I want it to, even if it takes a little pushing!
So....what do you all think???

Can someone advise me on the best stuff out there concerning web development?
Which tools to use?
Which platform to use?
Which books to read?
Which technologies to learn?
I would google, but there are so many different opinions out there.
There is no headache-less path to Web Development. There will always be headaches...Sorry, but that comes with the job!
But to help you out here is my advice.
Eclipse is very good from my experience, it is simply the best IDE out there. (In my opinion)
Development on Firefox is pretty nice, especially with the add-ons out there.
Go to Amazon.com and search: Code Complete 2 Edition. Its a really good book (O'Reilly is pretty good at Programming Language Books)
I use Coldfusion, Java, Flex 2 for web development and they satisfy me, nothing is really too hard or too easy
Of course, HTML, CSS, SQL, and XML are pretty important too.

Don't ask...Its a dev version of a coldfusion app. This actually was written by a colleague of mine & I. It would have been deployed to production like this. However, the Project Manager had us switch it to MAXIMUM_ERRORS.
Although I don't remember why we used that name, but the Senior Programmers on the team passed it through the Reviewing process!
I had a similar situation.....
When I was creating a Input box for uploading files I used Javascript to make another input box appear if I had other files that needed to upload.
But when I uploaded the files it showed the text files in a different font....
Not sure if they are related but I wound up tossing the idea because of other problems anyway...
Sorry Dude! Good Luck
