[Javascript] vs vbscript

[Iztok Polanic]

Hi!

I've used Coldfusion for quite some time. It's faboulos product, but 
it's too expensive if you ask me. If you code by their coding rules it's 
the best RAD tool available for server-side scripting. But as everyone 
knows, this isn't true for real life projects. Now I'm using PHP and 
Coldfusion to code server-side scripting. I like PHP, because there are 
tons of material and extensions available on net, PHP is more in front 
of supporting new technologies then Coldfusion and it's FREE.


Bye,

Iztok
