Absolutely. I discovered Fusebox over a year after I started coding in
cold fusion. For a good while I just kept implementing the parts of it I
knew as I had time to read the spec and get used to it. Now I code
everything in fusebox. The fusebox community is fantastic - and I've found
coding in this methodology has actually lent me toward writing more elegant
and sophisticated solutions to things as a matter of course simply because
of the mindset fusebox methods draw me into.
The mailing list by the way is now run through topica.com. Easy way to
join is go to www.halhelms.com (a great place for fusebox info) and use the
form there.
