Techniner,
My repsonse was in now way a Microsoft Endorsement... I was just saying the CF works fine if you have to use it in a microsoft setting... Just a well as any other product running on Microsoft.
I personally could care-less one way or another...which implementation someone utilizes as long as I am paid for my services I am flexible.
However if I did have my own company and infastructure, that would be a different story. :mrgreen:
CF is a solid product, it takes a black-eye in perception alot. But I use it whenever I get the opportunity because of the Rapid Application Development aspect.
IE: JDBC example of a query.
Class.forName(sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver);
Connection jdbcConnection =
DriverManager.getConnection
(jdbc:odbc:Access);
Statement sqlStatement = jdbcConnection.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS";
try
{
ResultSet results = sqlStatement.executeQuery(sql);
while (results.next())
{
System.our.println("Field One: " +
results.getString(1) +
"Field Two: " +
results.getString(2) +
"Field Three: " +
results.getString(3));
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Problem with Sending Query: " + e);
}
ColdFusion Example:
SELECT * FROM Customers;
#Field1#, #Field2#, #Field3#
A novice developer can understand what's going on here. And its doing the exact same thing as above.. The Power of Java, just much more simplistic.
I have used PHP, and ASP.NET as well, and have no gripes against them.
I guarantee if you were to use ColdFusion MX 7 and familiarize yourself with CFC's and CFscript; You would probably use ColdFusion at any given opportunity as well.
Check out the ColdFusion Page on Macromedia's website.
As well as http://www.cfmeasy.com to get started if you decide to tackle.
