Hi,

I have been actively working with Coldfusion for 2 years at my current company and am looking to start my own business but for the first year or so would like to work on projects and contracts to gain as much diverse experience as possible.

Can anyone suggest any decent places I can locate contract/project work ?

I am particularly keen to take on work which I can do from my home office rather than have to leave my comfortable fulltime Coldfusion job at the moment but don't seem to be able to find anything suitable...... am I trying to have my cake and eat it, or is there somewhere out there where I can find this sort of stuff ?

Cheers

Leigh

    might be tricky to specialise in coldfusion as it's not quite as popular as
    other web dev platforms (much less work available for those not yet
    established). But, more generally, http://www.guru.com/ is a decent site you
    should look over.

    At this point I feel it may be appropriate to propose Iceborer's Corollary to Godwin’s Law:

    As any ColdFusion-related conversation which contains any reference to (a) ColdFusion employment, (b) alternative platforms to ColdFusion, or (c) hosting of ColdFusion applications becomes sufficiently long, the probability of a troll from one of Andy Grant’s multiple personalities approaches one.

    I'm not sure about coldfusion in particular but have you checked out any of these websites?
