Dave, I just wrote a newsletter on this that will be sent out tomorrow AM. (If you're interested, you can sign up at www.halhelms.com under NEWSLETTERS). To put it in a nutshell, the argument that CFMX - and especially CFCs - will make Fusebox obsolete doesn't strike me as valid - or rather, it strikes me as "proving too much". CFCs are simple objects compared to the ones available in Smalltalk or Java, yet Java still needs Struts and, I argue, CFMX will still need Fusebox.

I understand (having been on the fusebox mailing list) that there's more to fusebox than just the framework (prototyping, devnotes, etc.), but it seems to me that the core Fusebox files will pretty much be outdated by the time your books hit the shelves. Not the same Dave, but a Dave nonetheless! ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
