Fusebox seems to be end of life what with FW/1 and Coldbox really being the frameworks to know now. I'm certainly no FB hater. I used it for years and was once an elected advisory board member.
My personal preference is FW/1. Lighter and less to learn than Coldbox. That being said these are not procedural frameworks and you're going to need to understand MVC and OO principles. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 11:52 AM To: cf-talk Subject: chossing a methodolgy I've been coding CF for around 12 years now. I've been using fusebox 3 since it came out and love it. I can do a site pretty quick with it and I'm very comfortable there. So comfortable that I haven't looked any further. Not a good thing for growth. As I've grown as a developer, my applications have become more comlex, and the way some things are done in fusebox 3 feel a bit kludgy to me now. So, It's time to try something new. I tried fusebox 4 for a few days when it came out, couldn't get the basic app to work, and gave up. I'm willing to give it another go, and noticed they are up to 5.5.1 now. I'm considering investing the time to give it another try. The documentation link under Learning Fusebox for 5.5 is broken. Only tutorials are for fusebox 4 and earlier. The book is $40, a bit much I think. So, before I spend $40 and, even more valuable to me, time, any recommendations? Is fusebox 5.5.1 worth it or should I go to something else? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
