Christian, there is a whole methodology which grew out of Fusebox and is still used heavily in Fusebox called FLiP. There are many open source tools out there that sprung out of this approach. Here are some good links on this subject: -

For the record, we do use Fusebox and find it extremely useful in many many ways. Hth.

By design, I don't necessarily mean graphic design so much as application architecture, however eventually graphic design has to be taken into account, as well. For instance, do you use Visio to mock up the interface, or HTML, or just a light-weight version of the app in CF? Do you use Photoshop? Freehand? Graph paper (my favorite technique)? How about database design, workflow, and process diagrams? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cantrell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
