I agree 100%. FuseBox is a great tool and allows you to deploy new sites
rapidly, but not such a great idea to do starting out with a big project.
Tool around with it first, learn the ins-and-outs and then begin to apply it
to bigger apps. It is easy to use, but also easy to screw it up if you
don't know what you're doing. In my old shop, we implemented a very clean
version of it and was extremely easy to use. Where I'm currently at, they
have a half-assed implementation of it and it is a royal pain in the
you-know-what to debug. It's horrible. Get the book from Steve Nelson and
Craig Girard (www.fusebox.org or www.secretagents.com). It spells it out
very nicely. Good luck. In case you didn't know, there is a fusebox
discussion forum through houseoffusion also. There are some really smart
and helpful people over there that would fall over themselves trying to help
you. (This means you Lee). Great resource.
