Time Constraints
I know I had said I wanted to update this blog daily but I just don’t have the time I wish I had to constantly update. Between my dogs, furthering my knowledge of the web development world and just the craziness life throws at me I just don’t have the time to put effort into my blog on a daily basis. Please know that I am trying and although I know hardly anyone follows my blog it does hold importance to me. The focus of this blog has really been my day to day life which is not very relevant to anyone following me who doesn’t personally know me. Once I get a little more knowledgeable in my area I would like to start posting tutorials and more but as it is I just don’t have the energy or time to write up anything. As far as what I am currently focused on ASP .NET MVC is what I am learning, at a pace that both helps me yet fulfills the business needs of my current position as a Coldfusion developer. I am becoming very knowledgeable towards the drawbacks of each language, Coldfusion enables rapid development with pre-built functionality. ASP .NET holds great power from a programmers standpoint, being able to customize each and every aspect is a huge selling point. Coldfusion can just crank out the sites and the functionality out of the box is great but I do not have experience in customizing the pre built functionality involved. My company is focusing on the Microsoft path so it comes down to an Adobe vs Microsoft environment. Coldfusion can crank out sites with relative ease compared to ASP .NET. What I am seeing of MVC is definitely a move in the right direction but it does have its complexity involved. Its all a balancing act and I am currently juggling both, I want to better my knowledge yet it is nice working with something I am comfortable with. The future is ASP .NET but I find it hard to pull myself from Coldfusion because of the ease of use. Always learning, always bettering myself realizing each language has it place and purpose, what the future holds who knows. Until then I will absorb as much as I can and do what I can until I find the best way.
