Bill,
You are totally right. I think the biggest point to Fusebox is that its *A* standard.
How many people, groups, companies do you know that code without any or sparce
standards?
Why does it have to be Fusebox? It doesn't...but if you don't have a standard of your
own, why re-invent the wheel when there's a pretty big Fusebox audience out there to
utilize and
learn from? Depending on how big your project/company is (or how fast you need your
project done), I'd say Fusebox isn't a bad way to go...the list of people who use
Fusebox seems to
keep growing and growing, that it's not that hard to imagine putting out a job posting
with Fusebox as a prerequisit (or a "big plus"). So you could hire someone in who
already knows
YOUR standard.
What is Fusebox? It's a standard used by many Cold Fusion developers. It's a
standard that allows you to easily separate out different functions of your
application so that they are
completely independent of the others...so programmer 1 can take this part of the app
and develop it... programmer 2 can take that part and develop it...etc...without
needing to know
how the others are doing it. All they need to know is the list of fuses (actions).
Why should you use it? If you have your own set of standards, GREAT! I'd argue there
are lots of people/companies out there that DON'T but need to. But if you're looking
for a
standard that many other people know/understand, and one that allows easy
independent-segmenting of your application, then Fusebox is worth looking into /
trying out.
Current documentation available *is* a little convoluted, and you need to do a small
app yourself to really understand/get into the flow of Fusebox. Currently, on the
Fusebox list,
we are looking into ways of making the learning process of Fusebox much simpler and
easier to understand.
Hope this helps!
