Jeff,
You keep on going on about other methodologies. Which particular other
methodologies using CF are publicly available? You keep mentioning all
these other methodologies, but can we at least compare them to Fusebox?
Fusebox is probably one of the best methodologies (if not the only public
methodology) available for a ColdFusion developer. The book also covers a
number of fundemental design elements that any CF'er should understand.
EVEN if they don't do Fusebox.

Well, that has nothing to do w/ Fusebox. Any programming methodology

this benefit. The key is having one in place and sticking to it.

So if you don't do it, you're not going to get a job with certain
companies.

If you are not a consultant, that is complete hogwash, I think.
Especially with today's job market. Fusebox (or whatever methodology the
company uses) should be more than
willing to train on the methodology. If you already know the language
(What company
doesn't have enough trouble finding people who know the language?),
learning the
coding practices should be easy enough.
I did one job, where the first thing they did was sit me down and
outline the
coding practices. It took about a half hour sitting down with the lead
developer.
I took notes, and then followed them. No problems.

As I said previously, any methodology worth its salt should offer this.
If
I don't know fusebox, then your app isn't going to be any easier to follow
than
some other unknown methodology. (It probably will be easier to follow than
random coding, though)
