I haven't used it, but did read one of the Fusebox introduction books a few years ago when the subject first came up on this list.
From reading that book which leaned heavily towards ColdFusion I was able to understand the how, but didn't come away convinced why, in other words, that I should use it.
In your opinion what is the advantage to using this methodology over others?
Well, to begin with it IS a methodology. Before finding fusebox I just developed my own ad-hoc methodology which was not at all well thought out.
Fusebox gives me the following advantages, among others:
- A clearly defined methodology for designing, specifying, coding, testing, implementing and maintaining a site
- Clear separation of backend, business logic, and presentation
- Clearly defined flow of control
- Ability to create self-enclosed components that can easily be reused
For example, I defined a fusebox component that draws a calendar. It is totally independent of anything else, and it has its own API. I was then able to plug that calendar into page with 3 lines of code. It doesn't get much better than that.
