Good information Stephen, You are a wealth of information -- sincerely, I appreciate it greatly!!
I would agree that on the grand scale of things $500 is not that much, I realize but I work for a very frugal company and even $500 is considered pricey for my company. As to the generating of files, I am still using fusebox2 (and Adalon is targeted at Fusebox3 from what I saw) and as one of only two coders that maintain our internal and external sites, flowcharting on a white board still works best for me. I don't trust gui applications, regardless of what they are used for (modeling, app development, etc) complicated development environments have always given me a headache! Now if someone else where to create the structure of the app using a tool like Adalon (which is pretty cool from what I saw), I have no objections.... but in creating my own apps I use snippets for my documentation and I have a set of standard templates I use for app structure. Call me a control freak but I just personally would rather do it all myself. Again, that is just me, working in a very small team environment. Probably not feasible for larger teams but it's a method I have found that works for me. Also, I am not doing a lot of very complicated stuff with Cold Fusion yet...at least I don't think I am, it seems like the stuff I have built in the last couple of years have been pretty simple apps thus far. The Perl and ASP stuff I used to do seemed to be a lot more complex.

I say blank, because the pages contain the fusedocs for the action/display in that template. Adalon doesn't write any code for you, only generates the file structure, switch files and fusedocs. Hope that helps. Regards Stephen ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
