As I mentioned last week, I plan on publishing a series of blog posts that will demonstrate how PHP and ColdFusion can address common development tasks. Before I publish my first post (in a hopefully long and informative, if not entertaining, series) I wanted to lay down some ground rules. These rules are for me as much as anyone else as I want to make sure I follow a 'standard' procedure for each post.
Here are the rules for me to follow:
- All the code I demonstrate will be compatible with the versions I have installed. For ColdFusion, that is version 9.0.1. For PHP, that is version 5.3.4
- When possible, all ColdFusion code will be written using CFScript syntax.
- I will try to follow 'best practices' whenever possible.
- Keep in mind the purpose of this series is NOT to try and prove one language is better than another - but to learn more about the differences, and more importantly, the similarities between them.
Here are the rules I would like you, my readers, to follow:
- Keep it civil. I have no problem if someone wants to express an opinion, that is great, just please do so in a way that is not insulting. I will not approve comments in this series that are not 'civil' (weird to hear me say that, huh?)
- If you see better way of coding what I am trying to demonstrate, please share it - this way we can all learn.
- Keep in mind the purpose of this series is NOT to try and prove one language is better than another - but to learn more about the differences, and more importantly, the similarities between them.
As I said last week, I hope to have the first post done later this week.
