No disrespect to Ben, but there are at least two books on fusebox coming out
and I'm quite sure at least one of them will cover what you want. This has
been talked about more on the Fusebox list.
> Ben, my challenge to thou art:
>
> Develop a book in ColdFusion (either 4.5 or the upcoming 5 release) that
is entirely re-written using fusebox examples (or at least a similair
technique). Let's start off the beginners as the awesome developers that
they have the potential to be!
>
> Imagine what could happen to some of the developers who learned fusebox
from the beginning? I picture ColdFusion having taken off a lot better than
it did, with more professional developers available. Code easier to
understand everywhere. In short, Programming Utopia!!! Well, I may
exaggerate somewhat, but you get the idea...

And I'm training them in the Fusebox style so that as they're going through
the CFWACK book and the Allaire self-paced tutorial CD, they'll constantly
ask "Well WHY did they do it that way?" instead of simply accepting
everything everyone has told them thus far at face value and accepting it as
a standard.
