| Quote: | CF:
Pluses:
tag based might be the easiest language to learn
Performance is fine (and now that totally a J2EE application), very
scalable and fast
very easy database access and display
Low cost for development environment
Minuses:
No Client Side processing (without using Javascript with browser
incompatibility)
|
How else do you do client side stuff for web pages than JavaScript?
| Quote: | Weak Security System
|
What do you mean? In what sense do you consider the application security
architecture weak?
| Quote: | Limited Number of controls
|
Well, it's not designed in terms of controls. But you can plug in COM
objects, develop cold fusion custom tags, use modules, and otherwise
compartmentalise and reuse design . . .
| Quote: | Bottom line, I liked most everything about the CF solution (besides
security) except it was exceedingly difficult to create a "rich user
interface". Since this was what I wanted and this was the term used to
describe CF + Flash, I decided to spend a while building systems using
this
technology
Decided to go back to Delph VII and see what is new, found Intraweb, don't
know it well enough yet, but it might be the solution that I have been
looking for...

I'm sure IW will be fine too. It will do a lot of client side stuff you want
for you, but guess what . . . it does it using Javascript, and it imposes
browser limitations on you. ie, you get the same issues you saw as minuses
for CF. But you do get it out of the box with less effort than you would
expend in CF, with the downside that CF would have given you more control
and let you support lower browser versions.
Also check out Express Web Framework by DeveloperExpress, they are
particularly good with the look and feel side of things.
