Well I am working at my second primarily.NET shop that was originally a
coldfusion shop. One went through a classic asp phase first though. So its
not a surprising combinations of technologies to know as it seems to have
been a standard progression.

Well how informed are you about .NET or even mono? Most people know a
handful of technologies. I've done PHP, .NET, vb6 and dabbled in a few other
languages. I've made minor edits to CF pages and I assume I'm grossly
uninformed about it. I know a former foxpro programmer that could convince
you it was one of the greatest development environments ever. Had I not
known him I would never believe foxpro was a "real" programming tool.
