I totally agree with you regarding FuseBox 3, but the older FuseBox architectures were simpler and far more easy to learn/understand/implement. I've written many apps using FB2-ish architecture and they absolutely fly when it comes to performance and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from developers modifying the code and zero bad feedback. Consider using FB, but don't let it get out of control like FB3 did.

It was a little overkill for most CF apps, and it often confused developers and shyed them right back into spaghetti code. I like Mach-II, though. I've built my own framework (s) over the year, but with the advent of CFCs, something like Mach-II, which uses XML files to "link" components and "events" together is a damned good approach. It's very clean and easy to follow once you understand the underlying components that handle interactions. The fact that it's built on the MVC methodology is the single most compelling reason to experiment with it. Typical CF code has all kinds of code wrapped in a single template, and MVC (when followed properly) makes, as Hal stresses every chance he gets, code much more maintainable and reusable. Looking forward to learning more about Mach-II. ---------------------------------- Alex Sherwood PHS Collection Agency THE COLLECTORS T: 301.215.4200 F: 301.664.6834 W: www.phs-net.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
