Casey, I built it as an example of using both Fusebox 4.1 and using CFCs.
The CFC portion of the application is completely independent of the fact
that the UI controller layer is using Fusebox. In other words, the same CFCs
could be used in a Mach-II or Model-Glue frameworks (or no framework at all

I don't like that one since it's got the word "fusebox" in it but,

Yeah, I literally spent hours studying your bookstore app. I think I'll
also get that design patterns book by the gang of four to learn more
about the principles behind the various designs.
Before learning fusebox, I hadn't even thought about CFCs. Now I plan
to code entirely in CFCs from now
Glad you found it useful Mike. I should note though that even that code was
written a year or two ago and I would do a a couple of things differently if
I wrote it today. Nothing too major though. One of these days I'll take some
time to update it. Maybe knowing that folks are still looking at it w

If you use a plain ol' CFML
After some more thought, I could see them coming in handy if I were
building a script-based, traditional setup. However, I am a recent
fusebox addict (which is amazing, btw) and therefore there isn't much
need for me to make an additional CFC to handle output. The concept of
fuses is that the

This is one of those situations where I think people are making CF too

Ah ah, a matter of religion matter again ;-)

Hey Ian,
Good point.. you got me there. I'm guessing it probably has something
to do with OO practices and that objects are for data and logic and then
something else displays the information.
On the flip side, they do provide a mechanism for passing variables in
that could be displayed... yea

MVC doesn't have to be adhered to either, but it does make your life
easier in code reusability and maintainability.

I have used them from time to time as "containers" of displayed code. Seen
a few people use them for displaying information as well, only example that
comes to mind for that is someone showed a datagrid CFC awhile back at our
CFUG.

I understand why one would not want to mix display functionality with other
layers of logic, and I am trying to learn how to separate my coding along these
lines. But nobody has explained to m

Hey Casey,
Here's a good example:

I learned quite a bit from the way that he set up his CFCs
in his sample bookstore app. Yeah, it's fusebox, but the
concepts would carry over to script based programming as
well.

There are no good books for learning CFCs (Hal's book is very

I did not like how it was written, did not like how several of the examples
were flawed, and did not like the general layout of the book felt like it
was done in a manner to just fill up more pages. I think a lot more could

really? How come you didn't like it? I've heard it's pretty
conceptual, but I don't mind that kinda stuff, especially if it'll help
me design my overall cfc structure better..

I was actually curious about that book as well. My goal from this point
forward was to write all of my code in CFCs only. I haven't written a
CF function yet as I haven't been ready for the transition, but it
doesn't look like it's going to be that tough. You might also want to
