Fusebox is exactly for what you are stating, bringing a style to your code. I don't think everyone should use Fusebox, because some people do have their own coding styles, but Fusebox does offer the ability to "plug" sections in with ease that also stand alone (assuming the constraints are dealt with.. i.e. variables, etc..). Fusebox documentation (FUSEDOC) is a great way to tell people reading your code, what needs to come into the page, what the page does and other information; this is why I don't understand why people say it does not provide good documentation.. What else do you want? All in all, fusebox is a great methodology that offers consistency, emphasises code reuse, and allows you to quickly develop applications because part of develping using Fusebox deals with Project Planning, an area lots of programmers do not spend enough time on.
Just my two cents. Go Fusebox.

I disbelieved the FB claim of being 'self-documenting' from the start - seems silly. I guess a really messy coder can make a mess of something using whatever well-designed system. Thing is, the style of my app structure/naming conventions/ documentation does shift about from one project to another - mostly because I'm constantly learning in small ways. Now I feel I've enough of a grasp of CF to really start to standardise things, to give me a few less things to think about in the day-to-day coding. I could come up with my own set of conventions and my own open-ended architecture - my feeling is just, why not adopt Fusebox, to save myself a bit of time, probably learn some stuff in the process, and leave my work using something that at least some other developers out there are using too? I guess in this position it's just a matter of whether Fusebox's style meshes at all with your own enough to make it worthwhile. - Gyrus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
