An application framework provides abstract interfaces for common infrastructure and a context for reusable libraries of functionality. All Fusebox provides is a strategy to map URLs to code execution.

However, if you apply common sense to these problems you might just end of with a solution as good as Fusebox. Further, if you understand terms like application framework and architecture, you can build amazing applications. I am not saying as a novice you need to learn these things. I am however saying that by learning Fusebox you have learned the wrong definitions of common programming terms. > Mature: It has time.

To be standards based means endorsed by a standards organization or support from a good portion of the industry. -Matt ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
