OK, first off Fusebox is NOT a methodology (a way of developing software), it's a framework (code that gets you started). The same is true of Mach II. And BatFink (although it's pretty fluid). Benorama's MVCF is more of a methodology. FLiP is a methodology (although it is very focused on implementing solutions with Fusebox). > and what is the most widely adapted ones? Fusebox is the most widely used CF framework. It's used by the same percentage of CFers as Struts is used by Java programmers. (somewhere between 6% and 8%) Mach II is certainly gaining in popularity: CFers who understand the benefits of both frameworks and OO tend to go to Mach II, CFers who understand the benefits of frameworks but feel more comfortable with procedural design / code tend to go to Fusebox 3 or 4. Both Fusebox and Mach II are available for CF and PHP (Mach II is limited beta for PHP right now, Fusebox 3 for PHP has been available for ages, Fusebox 4 is in beta for PHP I think). Fusebox 3 is available for JSP, Mach II for JSP is being developed. Scott asks: > I wonder if people who reply with "i use xyz" actually use the concept > to the letter or cherry pick it ? even mach-ii :D We use Mach II "to the letter". We have 1.0.9 checked in to CVS and shared for all development projects. No developers ever modify the core files. Partly because I'm the gatekeeper and I don't allow it :) --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
