ColdFusion programmers

[wasistdas]

How many coldfusion programmers are here?

[oracleguy]

I sort of still know ColdFusion, I haven't done it over 2 years now but I was pretty good several years ago when I had to learn it to fix some legacy applications at a previous job.

It is a language that has lost a lot of popularity to PHP and ASP/ASP.net imo but I'm not sad to see it go.

I am, been a CF developer for about 3 years. Newbie for CodingForums, however. Hope the forum takes off

[cfxerious]

i've been in since v4.0 / Allaire days.

[JayStang]

I am as well. Been programming with it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for about 5 or 6 months now. The company i work for is 100% coldfusion based, developing several different types of coldfusion applications (mainly integrated with a CMS, intranet, and extranet). In the short time i've been using it i love it!

Glad to see this forum pop up on here. Hopefully we'll get some more developers here.

What can ColdFusion do that PHP can't? I know very little about ColdFusion.

This is perhaps my favorite CMS powered website, and I have to mention it's powered by CF (no not CodingForums lol). Not only did I visit it a hell of a lot when I played sim city, but it's a reminder to me of the possibilities of the web.

I've been developing cold fusion since 4.0, although these days I use PHP and haven't touched CF since 6.1

What version are they up to now? 8? Is it any better?

You would be better off seraching this forum or Googling "coldfusion vs. php". There are a lot of threads on this topic, both environments have their pro's and con's and both sides have their fanatics.

As to the topic of this thread, I started using CF in 1999-2000'ish.

Another CF programmer here with 10 years of experience under my wings.

I have been doing CF development for almost a year now. It would be really nice if this forum could take off more. Maybe the lack of use is a state of coldfusion's popularity It is pretty easy to code in for me, but wish it had a more OOP framework in my dev work. (It can be, if you develop from scratch the right way.)

Another ColdFusion programmer here with 2+ years experience. But, our company now uses PHP than ColdFusion..
