Costas Piliotis, IMO, The Fusebox 3.0 methodology Rocks! http://fusebox.org
Have you taken the time to read the spec or create any applications? Even when NEO comes out, not everyone will have the means to upgrade. No matter which route CF takes, Fusebox makes a better developer! It will change the way you plan and code your applications even if you don't decide to use the methodology. If you take the time to check it out, I'm sure you will agree! Gyrus, I would encourage you to read the new spec and forget the book and it's reviews. (The book is old and covers Fusebox 1.0) If you want to purchase something to help you with Fusebox check out the 'Conference in a Box' from Hal Helms: http://halhelms.com/ CIAO, Joseph DeVore VeloxWeb Technologies -----Original Message----- From: Costas Piliotis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 12:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Fusebox - opinions? Since everyone has put their two pennies in... Fusebox is a nice idea. IMHO though, Cold Fusion was never intended for structured programming in the modern, object oriented terms. New will have cf classes and stuff, so fusebox may or may not be the way to go. Here's the best thing about cold fusion: It allows developers the flexibility to design using the methodology they deem appropriate. There are no "rules" in cold fusion (other than the cf tags and functions). I'd check the specs on neo (cf6) and hold off. Fusebox is a methodology that may not bode well with the stuff in cf6. Just suggesting you be careful. -----Original Message----- From: Gyrus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 6:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Fusebox - opinions? OK, I think I'm on the verge of knuckling down and getting friendly with Fusebox for CF. Glancing through the PPT presentations, it seems pretty cool, and quite close to the systems I've developed anyway, only better organised :) A few questions for everyone out there who uses Fusebox: 1. Pros? Cons? Opinions? I've generally only seen good feedback, but I thought I'd see... 2. Is there any good documentation/literature? I think the PPT presentations should get me going, but I know I'll want something a little meatier. I was going to try out the book but it got so-so reader reviews on Amazon.com. Anyone think the book's worth it? Alternative deeper discussions of Fusebox anywhere? 3. I've not really used PHP or ASP. Does anyone know how the moves to have Fusebox work for these is going? Will knowing Fusebox in CF help me get going quicker with PHP/ASP if/when I delve into them (assuming Fusebox has been adapted for them)? 4. Some clients I have are still hosted with CF 4.0 - does this pose any problems for using Fusebox 3?
