I just wanted to say thank you. As a Cold Fusion
developer I have been trying to get myself as well
as my fellow programmers up to speed on FuseBox.
I think a tool like this is an excellent idea,
I hope to see it evolve and I agree that it might
make an excellent open source application.
I look forward to seeing what evolves from this.

Subject: Visual Fusebox 1.0
I built an app during my spare time last week. I hope you fusebox designers
find it useful, and newcomers to fusebox: I hope this helps ease the
transition. Please send me feedback, because we, as a developer community
can make this a great utility for reasons below (i wrote about it in the
from the documentation (excerpt below) ,so I'm not going to repeat that
effort...)...
point your MSIE browser to http://www.msidg.com/visualfusebox and when
there,click the "Start" button.
Sorry if, you receive this multiple times. I just want to get as much
feedback as possible, (hence 3 lists) about the app, and the concept. I
obviously still a long way to go, but it is all functional (read
documentation).
EXCERPT :
Introduction
I created this program as a "quick start" to my own application development
efforts. Every time I begun programming a new fusebox application, I found
myself "copying-and-pasting" a bare bones file/directory structure from one
of my other fusebox apps, instead of creating all of the files from scratch.
This program, as I hope you will also see, not only eliminates the hand-made
file creation process, but allows more clear planning by providing a visual
structure throughout the process. It also makes documentation more plentiful
and uniform. It is by no means a finished project, and I plan on enhancing
it as the need arises.

Visual Fusebox (for lack of a better name) is a tool designed to help
coldfusion programmers plan out their applications. It may also be a great
way to ease new fuseboxers into the coding styles associated with the
Fusebox methodology. This utility allows you to design applications in an
easy-to-use visual interface, and either save the "blueprints" or "compile"
the blueprints into a file-structure skeleton, which can then be downloaded
in a zip file. There are 2 advantages I see to this application.
Developers can share "blueprints", improve them, and contribute to a
centralized library of architectures
As Fusebox is released for other languages, (ASP,PHP,etc.) the "compile"
section can easily be augmented to allow compilation into any of the new
languages, while allowing programmers of the various languages to maintain a
common platform for planning the applications, and can share plans
pre-compilation.
