Re: PHP pros and cons

Easier to learn than Perl, comparable learning curves with CF imo, probably a bit easier than ASP initially. Cheaper to deploy than CF since it's free, same for ASP. As for speed in building applications, I'd say that given someone has the same ability in any of the 4 (PHP, ASP, CF, Perl) deployment time is about the same. Maybe a little longer for Perl. All of the 4 languages have plenty of documentation written about them. I do like CF's ability to just name data sources on the server and reference them that way. Think ASP can do the same, not sure. My 2 cents...
