[thelist] ColdFusion and PhP

Hi,
I haven't actually used Coldfusion, as it's on my list of "tools to avoid",
alongside with WYSIWYG html editors like Dreamweaver,  Frontpage or
Homesite, activeX pluggins, Frontpage extensions, client-side vb-script, and
visual Interdev to name a few.

The reason being that these are tools that hide the real workings of the
webpage, making things simple to start off with, but you're not really
learning anything about what's really going on, so if something goes wrong
you're out of your depth pretty fast.

I'm not saying you can't use these, but a good basis in PHP, ASP,
javascript, and a little Perl will get you a long way, and in most cases
it'll be a lot easier to debug your script when something goes wrong.

Cheers,
Richard Bennett
