I decided I wanted to take advantage of the new features in CF8 for my new application. Plus I heard it was faster so I took the plunge to upgrade.
Unfortunately my hosting provider provides CF8 and restricts the CFObject tag. CFCs are far less effiecient if I have to create them for every call.
So I will be switching providers for this project once I get in a testable position.
ColdFusion is the only server side web programming language that I have learned but WordPress is in PHP. What is a ColdFusion programmer to do?
Once you learn one language the concepts are all the same but it sure takes some time to get used to the different syntax. I have to admit, though I still very much prefer ColdFusion. Wordpress has WAY more addins and options than any of the ColdFusion blogs. Plus since I host at GoDaddy and they make it soooo easy to set up a WordPress blog…
Anyway, had some trouble some plugin didn’t play well with others and didn’t show the content on the front page. I haven’t completely narrowed it down but I did get a little over zealous and installed WAY more plugins than I should have.
Now…how do I link my ColdFusion content with my WordPress blog….
