Software Development Times On ColdFusion And More

I think what he's trying to say is that you can see ColdFusion as a Java/J2EE framework. Which is kind of true if you think about it. After all, ColdFusion is in the end just an abstraction layer on top of a Java/J2EE server.

Hi, Ben: Thanks for pointing this out. I assume you meant to say Software Development Times. SD Times is one of my favorite publications - a good news source on the software and development tools industry. On a related note, I also read the following editorial in the August 15, 2007 issue of SD Times: Don’t Give ColdFusion The Cold Shoulder. I've observed that SD Times has given ColdFusion very favorable coverage. Thanks, Ken

I'm at a loss as to why he mentions the issue of frameworks in Java but doesn't address it all in regards to ColdFusion. I fail to see how either is different in that regard.

@Oliver, I think "ActionScript for operations on the server" refers to this: "ColdFusion server configuration includes the Flash Remoting service, a module that lets Adobe Flash developers create server-side ActionScript." ht

@Oliver, Coldfusion does provide a mechanism to use Action script on the server-side in Coldfusion. You can also add Action script in CFM pages that use <cfform format=flash>

Good plug for CF. But he says: "... ColdFusion bundles two native scripting languages: the proprietary CFscript for applications, and an ECMAscript subset called ActionScript for operations on the server." CF 8 uses Actionscript? I (seriously) wish;) Oliver

Ugh, I should not post when I am sleep deprived. Thanks! --- Ben
