As you are probably aware there is a choice now for CFML developers (CFMX for Java, Bluedragon for .NET). But, for now I’m not interested in CFML, I want to hear from people about the underlying platforms.
Therefore, if you are a Java or .NET fan - why should I choose your platform over the other for day-to-day web development?
The things I want to hear most about are:
- Cost
- Performance
- Reliability
- Flexibility
- Development Times
- Front-end technologies and ease of use
- Data tier integration
- Support
- The bad bits (i.e the stuff you don’t find out about until trying to fix a bug the night before a deadline)
- Tooling (Eclipse vs Visual Studio)
…and finally…
- How does it help you with CFML development?
Tell me what you think…
