I didn't mean to spark controversy, I was actually just curious as to how Dave would approach any given app...but as he pointed out afterwards...I don't think many folks make example apps of their own customized frameworks hehe ;-) As for FB...I've used variations of it since xfb days...and over

Bravo, Judith! Exactly the proper perspective to have, in my opinion. Given an choice, I'll almost invariably choose to go my prefered framework for initial development. The exceptions would be if it's both simple and not going to be around long enough for the maintenance benefits a framework

You might be interested in Mach-II (www.mach-ii.com). Its an implicit invocation framework that Hal Helms and a couple other guys have been working on. It's 100% OO, entirely in CFCs. I haven't played with it myself, but it looks pretty hot. I believe it's in beta now (it was alpha until

Hi, I'm sorry that you feel this is personally directed at you. I don't feel that way and never said that I did feel that way. I realize you aren't attacking any individual, much less me. This has actually been the best most informative Fusebox debate I have ever witnessed. I am glad I had

Hi, too much time organizing their CF code, and not enough time figuring out what should be in CF I use Fusebox almost daily, so I tend to have this under control. I spend most of my time making sure I write the best CF code I am capable of. This is not to say I do everything correctly; I

Hi, Seriously, how do you measure that? I think, largely, it is measured against personal experience. If I had the opportunity to work with you directly and to learn how you do things, I may indeed find your methods to be superior--and that would be wonderful. I would then have another standard

it is REALLY nice to be able to edit a few lines in your circuit definitions and be done with it, instead of having to change links all over the place. I agree with most of your points. But if you decide to change your fuseaction names and circuits structure, don't you have to change links all

You can accomplish the same thing with dynamic paths and still not have to use fusebox. There are easier ways to do this and not have all the overhead of FB. Clint - Original Message - From: Brian Kotek [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 12:48

Abstraction is one huge benefit of circuits. When I do index.cfm?fuseaction=store.productdetails, I don't know, or care, WHERE the store circuit is. This applies to both the logical and physical structure of the site. Using circuit aliases masks these dependencies because the core file
