I like to use a combination of FuseBox for procedural flow and CFC's for CRUD operations. When you talk about code re-use, to me that is framework independent...CFC's are a great way to accomplish that no matter what framework you're using.
I haven't tried MG but folks on the list seem to like it. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Kroll" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 2:41 PM Subject: RE: Framework choices >> I was specifically wondering if ANY of the frameworks support code > re-use >> in the form that I mentioned in the orginal post. i.e. can I write > the >> model and views for one system and keep them in one location accessile > to >> several applications that mayuse parts or all of it's functionality. > > > IMO it's always a good idea to keep your model separated from the > framework you choose to use.
