Here's what I'd suggest...
1) Learn how to use CFCs properly. Place your business logic in CFCs and
then build your display pages to call your CFCs.
2) Next learn how to write custom tags with start and end tags like this:
<container:box>
...content...
</container:box>
And use them to build layout elements such as boxes and columns (this might
not be very useful depending what you are doing). The trick to this is
understanding thisTag.executionMode and thisTag.generatedContent.
3) Run your entire site through one file (index.cfm) with a parameter passed
in the URL that controls what happens. Place a big cfswitch in this file.
That may be all the framework you need. If not, it's a good point to begin
at.

Greetings,
I am new to ColdFusion and just started to learn. Before I get set in my
ways, I have read many posts about things like Fuse Builder and other module
building blocks for creating applications. My question is which one would be
the easiest to learn and is it a good practice to use one or would creating
my own components and such would be just as good?
Thanks,
Kevin
