1.Fusebox is a coding methodology. It's like picking a certain writing style. It trys to maximize code reuse by structuring the way you write your code. It also lends itself to self documentation. 2.there is a great book on fusebox called.... 'Fusebox: mothodology and techniques' by steve nelson and craig girard.
3.the methodology learned will transfer to other languages. Of course you will need to adjust certain aspects. 4.yes it is backwards compatible.

Glancing through the PPT |presentations, it seems pretty cool, and quite close to the |systems I've developed anyway, only better organised :) | |A few questions for everyone out there who uses Fusebox: | |1. Pros? Cons? Opinions? I've generally only seen good | feedback, but I thought I'd see... | |2. Is there any good documentation/literature? I think the | PPT presentations should get me going, but I know I'll | want something a little meatier. I was going to try out | the book but it got so-so reader reviews on Amazon.com. | Anyone think the book's worth it? Alternative deeper | discussions of Fusebox anywhere? | |3. I've not really used PHP or ASP. Does anyone know how | the moves to have Fusebox work for these is going? Will | knowing Fusebox in CF help me get going quicker with | PHP/ASP if/when I delve into them (assuming Fusebox has | been adapted for them)? | |4. Some clients I have are still hosted with CF 4.0 - does this | pose any problems for using Fusebox 3? | |All comments and feedback most welcome :) | |- Gyrus | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
