Several people have thrown out the term 'CFObjects.' But if you good read up on
CFObjects it is not really fleshed out and certainly not thoroughly tested by
different programmers on different types of projects. It is just a good starting point
to make an object oriented methodology out of Cold Fusion programming.
What I like about Fusebox is it is the first methodology I have seen that specifically
addresses the idiosyncrasies of web programming. The fact that it is geared for Cold
Fusion is just a plus. Web programming is not the same as procedural programming, and
although close it is not exactly the same as event-driven programming either.
Does anyone know of any more 'researched' web programming methodologies?
