I'd try and find some FB3 apps and see what's under the covers Robert Everland offered something today and the FB3 Forums at Source Forge is a pretty well developed and sophisticated FB3 app.

Hey, Charlie--
This is always a challenge that new Fuseboxers face: where to begin. As of
yet, IMHO, there is no good "one place" to start.
I think it is important to know where you are coming from and go from there.
You clearly know who you are as a developer: you know CF well. However you
have not started your voyage into the Fusebox world.
My personal opinion, and my favorite way to learn something new, is to just
dive right in and try it. Download the core Fusebox files, and, just as an
example, make a three-page resume: 1) introduction, 2) experience, 3) contact
info. Just get your feet wet. Then if you want to try and decontruct some of
the sample apps that are out there, give that a go. You'll catch on in no
time, really.
If you really want to do more reading, there is the Wiki, and there is the
Newbie Guide that Kathryn Butterly wrote:

A great list of links:

| 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
