And of course they are attacking very different problems. Fusebox is a framework. FLiP is a project lifecycle methodology. Design Patterns are 'just' a way of factoring your code to aid reusability or performance or whatever a particular design pattern is intended to address. > In addition by using Fusebox we have found it easy to bring in > developers who had never coded on CF before but who had a good grasp of > HTML, JavaScript and/or ASP-JSP.

I found that the hardest part of Fusebox to work with - I'm writing up my experience of converting my own (PHP) site to Fusebox where I will talk about this particular issue in more detail. > I recommend you take a look at Hal Helms work > http://www.halhelms.com/webresources/fuseboxmxpreso/page1.htm as CFMX > and > Fusebox are melded to form the next iteration of Fusebox. I was a little surprised to see this link posted publicly - I gave a very brief overview of Fusebox MX to BACFUG a few months back under a strict assurance to Hal that I didn't publish the code or the presentation. I can't find any mention of Fusebox MX on his site nor any links to this presentation. Without some context, it's a little hard for most people to follow I suspect (Hal did a great preso at DevCon in the Community Suite on this).
