Also, I don't see where they suggested this at all ... anywhere. In fact, If you follow what they have been talking about up to this point, then you wouldn't be deciding anything. If you had done the wireframes and the prototyping and all that, then you would have exactly what the client wants sitting right in front of you and there is nothing left to decide. What they are saying is that you need to use your right brain to look at the finished prototype and see the big picture .. understand the entire logic flow process that it represents. Once you are able to understand the logic flow as a whole application, you can begin using your left brain to break the application down in to fuses and sub fuses and fuseletts while using the image in your right brain as a reference. Like I said, I use FB exclusively now and I also use FLiP. So, I understand what they are getting at, it makes perfect sense to me, and I agree with them.

Exactly .. if you aren't the PM, then you don't need to see the big picture. This is what they will be talking about while they are explaining the purpose of fusedocs more. :) It's like if you were a worker in a factory. Some engineer came up with some gadget that is made of many parts. You make only one of those parts. So, you make the part, but you might not know what it does or what it's for. All that matters is that you follow the instructions and make the part. Someone else knows how to take all the parts and put the gadget together. This is your left brain. This is your left brain on the assembly line. Any questions? ;) Todd > > My .02 > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
