Mostly answering q's in the Coldfusion zones these days...
I'm not a "professional" CF developer but I've been using CF since 4.0 (I've still got my stylish Allaire Coldfusion T-shirt circa 1998). I've used CF to develop multiple incarnations of our company intra/extra websites. I have also put together many sites for non-profit organizations on a volunteer basis. I'm entirely self taught and have no letters after my name but that's why I use CF. It makes me look good :)
