I started by downloading the white paper and the core files back when it was FB 1.0.
I took a leap and have been using it since. Just remember that FB is a method that you can use all of or take from it what you want. I think you will find FB 3.1 pretty easy to understand.
You may find that it will help your new guys understand some concepts a little easier also.

Subject: newbie needs help getting started
Hey fuseboxers:
A brief background on me...i've been using cold fusion since version 1.5.
never got into fusebox, as i've seen it as segmenting myself further into
an already small niche (cold fusion developers being the already small
niche...fusebox development being even further segmented).
In most of my positions, when i've left, i've tried my best to help find my
replacement. It's always been hard enough to find a good cf'er, i figured
why make it harder by narrowing the search criteria even further (ie a
cf'er who is a fuseboxer).
Now i'm at a point where my company is ready to start from scratch with a
couple of pretty large sites (internet and intranet). I've looked into
fusebox enough that i'm convinced it's the way to go. As far as my
previous concern, I figure it will take somebody who doesn't know fusebox
less time to learn the fusebox methodology and be up to speed than it would
take somebody to figure out the different methodologies (or lack thereof)
used by the various developers at the company.
That being said...we're ready to go...but I really don't know how to get
started. I've been to Hal's site, and looked over the tutorials. I
understand the basic concept (modularizing code...separating query logic
from presentation logic, etc etc)...
However, having no fusebox people on hand...i'm a bit intimidated. I'm the
lead developer, working with two other developers who are still grasping
the concepts of cold fusion itself.
I know there's a book out there, but (and PLEASE...i hope nobody takes
offense at this)...I've heard it's not necessarily a good resource.
Any advice for somebody just starting out, with a team of people who are
still learning CF itself? Do I just dive in and start posting code here
for people to look at and critique?
I guess the big question is...how do I know if I'm doing it "right"??
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Charlie
