"You may possibly have seen an article recently written by Guy Kewney, did I say all those things, of course not. so lets lets try the authors same techniques here."
It seems journalist Guy J Kewney doesn't like ColdFusion developers very much, especially ones who are not heterosexual. Here is what he had to say in a recent article.
Guy says:-
"The next Cold Fusion developer conf in Croydon, just South of London, will be attended by 99.9% heterosexual males, that's official"
Quite a bold statement, or is that just wishful thinking from someone that doesn't like queer folk, he then goes on to say.
"One developer (married, straight) wrote to suggest that some people (grownups?) might find the evening entertainment not entirely to their taste."
Is that because .1% of the attendees are queer according to you Guy, surely your not that shallow minded?. Guy also thinks that all us developers are a bunch of sleazy perverts judging by this statement. Oh Guy, you really shouldn't judge others by your own standards.
"all Cold Fusion developers would find an opportunity to "chat up tequila girls"
As if that wasn't bad enough, he then goes on to imply that we are all impotent.
"male programmers might not necessarily be "licensed to shag"
Not content with this Guy then moves on to a bit more queer bashing, this chap really doesn't like homosexuals does he.
"if you don't want to grope a Tequila Slammer Girl, there's a simple and unavoidable explanation: you're queer:"
And he is sexist as well as a queer basher it seems.
" if you don't want to get pissed and make a Pratt of yourself leering at the chest of a rent-a-boobs gurly, there's only one explanation: you're a horrid poof."
Lets not leave it there says guy as he continues with a bit more developer bashing, supposedly we all wish we were teenagers. Sorry guy been there, done that, and he also throws in a bit of racial discrimination for good measure.
"Adult males are all sexually rampant and alcohol-fuelled. Muslims only pretend to be uninterested in getting drunk, and Real Programmers are either adolescent, or wish they were."
I am starting to wonder if Guy is actually a closet homosexual that hasn't yet had the courage to come out and uses queer bashing as a way to hide his sexuality. Come on Guy own up, homosexuals are people too.

If you have read Guys original article, you will know this is in fact not what it says at all. But this is an example how easy it is to twist words and take things out of context to make someone look bad, something journalists do all the time. This is of course what has been done to the original article about me.
Aug 21, 2012 at 5:11 AM @Rob,I agree with Paul. A good excercise is to take some piece of code you've wrttein in tags and try to completely rewrite it in cfscript. If you run into any issues, feel free to send us an email as I'm sure we've haven't run into all scenarios of how to do *something* in script.A heads up in just in case some of your programming is interfaced based. When using import, it doesn't import interfaces so the full package name must be declared in your return types like so:public my.interface.package.IPerson function getPerson(){}I must've withered away an hour of my life on this that I'll never get back.
