Cold Fusion and such

Never thought I'd be learning things like ColdFusion. When I first started learning it I thought geez, what a pathetic language not much you can do with it. Well I've been working with CF for about 8 months now and WOW I'm amazed at what YOU CAN DO with it. I originally thought oh, it's just an extension of HTML...Dang was I wrong. I am definitely liking ColdFusion MX7.

Never thought I would have to learn any form of C either, geez! Without ActionScript in ColdFusion I just don't know how you could create very useful sites.

Some sites I have come to frequent in my quest for ColdFusion-ness...
Ray Camden's Blog
AS Fusion
Their blog and examples on flash remoting have helped me immensely!
Dream in Code

I had orignally wanted to start doing stuff in ASP.NET but was told by my boss at Comcast to use ColdFusion. At first I was not too happy about it. But from the server level I have to admit I think CF is much more friendly to the server than ASP.NET ever will be.

Being able to put forms together using Flash is really cool. I know some of you out there have already been doing it for quite some time. I have been a traditional programmer for the last 12 years shunning all things web-related. Guess I was just stupid!
