A framework, to me, sets up rules for how to organize your code. It directs the flow of a request and shows you where to put what in order to deal with the flow of information through that request.
Fusebox 4 sets up that flow and the logical structure. You can implement a variety of ways within the structure, but the structure is dictated by the setup of the Fusebox app. That is why Fusebox is a framework and CF is not. CF, as a language, does not impose any of those constraints on you. Judah On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 10:18 AM, Zaphod Beeblebrox<[email protected]> wrote: > > how can it not be a framework?
