CF is viewed as cost probative for enterprise, not due to development times but due to infrastructure support and dev ops tooling.. security scanning(dast,sast) tools are limited/nonexistent. That which does exist are presumed to not be as robust even if they are supported (example: HP:fortify).
Installation and setup(think full dev ops) is also a barrier as infrastructure teams tend to be Microsoft or open source(linux) focused - meaning budgets are broken out to assess the cf cost in isolation and is always reported as higher operating costs and higher risk than is counterparts.
The move to lean agile teams operating in factory like fashion along with all of the separation of duties requirements means the entire pipeline would need to be staffed with people competent in there niche of cf expertise, not just development.
We are rebuilding our front-end in Vue.js/Quasar and leaving the CFML as an API backend
Build IDE for this language
Need to expand this greatly to ask things like:
- Sector (education/government/corporate/agency/small business)
- Customer Sector (see above)
- Engine / Version (very useful)
- along with js frameworks (also pure javascript libs), should ask about microframeworks (aka http://microjs.com/#)
- What blogs do you read (ben nadel/adobe/ortus)
- What size apps do you build
- What ORM/DAO do you use
lots more but these would be a baseline...
Thank you for your work to make CF vibrant.
Yes - where are all the Udemy, Coursera, EdX, online courses, where are the WACK books and why did Forta and Camden ditch CF?, where are the new books on Amazon? Where are Amazon published reference books?
CF perceived dead as the marketing and training materials have not been updated since 2010.
That's 10 years ago and nothing since. therefore seems Dead.
Supporting Lucee is the way forward for modern CFML and it should get primary placement in emails/comments/tweets/blogs/articles.
Getting and using Adobe CF isn't really an convenient way forward for students/modern devs (it's a turn off).
.net core seems like a great solution between C# and F# interop and the ability to write mobile apps in C# and F# and finding programmers is much less of an issue.
Hello from Mexico! Viva CFML!
