You might provide a example for the beginners to fusebox. Like, walk them through a
sample app (ie. rolodex). Tell me what you think of this idea! Let them download a
file for sample inputs and see the generated results after they input it would be a
easy solution.

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.
