Product Description
Product Description
Developers face a constant struggle to launch projects on time and under budget, especially without pulling all-nighters. Fusebox helps ensure successful projects by providing a framework that serves as a base for applications. It's a standard process that makes projects more manageable and simplifies maintenance and requests for change during development. With this book, you'll learn to make ColdFusion applications reliably successful by following a standardized system. In addition, relying on the Fusebox framework to help plan and organize your ColdFusion code will allow you to write increasingly complex and specialized applications.
Jeff Peters and Nat Papovich, both members of the Fusebox Council, share their extensive experience in this book. They'll teach you to use Fusebox with your ColdFusion applications and develop a set of best practices for managing web projects. Read this book if you want to eliminate frustrations and roadblocks in your projects, such as unmanageable complexity, wasteful redundancy of effort, time-consuming code maintenance, and slow development speed.

Fusebox 3 and so much more,
By Johnathan K (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fusebox: Developing ColdFusion Applicatons (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book on Fusebox 3.0 then as of October 2002 you've got two to choose from, this one and "Discovering Fusebox 3 with Coldfusion" by Hal Helms and John Quarto von Tividar. I chose Fusebox: Developing ColdFusion Applications because of it's coverage of the Fusebox Lifecycle Process (FLiP) as well as Fusebox 3.0. If you are new to Fusebox or Coldfusion (or both as I am) then some of the detail that this book goes into may initially be more than you are ready for. But you can still get what you need for a first pass at Fusebox by focussing on the idea of what is being achieved without trying to understand every detail of the how (the explanations of the code in the core files). The first half of the book provides a detailed and thorough guide to Fusebox 3.0. The second half provides explanation of all stages of FLiP complete with worked examples. This for me is where the book becomes much greater than the sum of those two parts. As you work through the section on FLiP you are introduced to the use of a number of freely downloadable software tools that have been developed to support the use of FLiP. By following FLiP and using these tools the development process not only stands to become far more robust, but in addition should be accelerated by the scope to reuse layout html code developed during the prototyping phase, and the tools' capabilities to automatically create fusebox framework files and test harness files for your application. Adding even further value are the downloadable sample files to illustrate every stage of FLiP including the finished sample web site. This is one excellent book. Incidentally the book refers to the Harness2 software tool. This is (as of mid October 2002) currently unavailable, but a new tool is set to be released at the end of October.

Great book on Fusebox 3,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fusebox: Developing ColdFusion Applicatons (Paperback)
As a user of the Fusebox framework I have been looking forwards to seeing some new material appearing on the topic. The original book by Steve Nelson and Craig Girard stands on my bookshelf and is too say the least well used.This new book takes a different approach to the old one by Steve Nelson and Craig Girard. From the outset the book explains the new Fusebox framework carefully and in full detail, not just skimming over the core files but working through them line by line. All of the "new" features are covered in considerable detail and the reader is able to get a full picture of what is happening in the Fusebox 3 framework. The book is thorough and has many examples to help highlight the issues being discussed. All in all this is a hard one to beat and deserves to become the new standard work for Fusebox 3 developers. I would recommend it to anyone using or thinking about using Fusebox.

This review is from: Fusebox: Developing ColdFusion Applicatons (Paperback)
Chapters 1-7 (of 19) of this book are all covered in various web sites available for free on the web, there's way too much waffle in the other chapters, and the Best Practices chapter should have been a lot bigger. I don't think it will help me make the transition from ASP to Fusebox methology on ColdFusion. Shame. It's a typical example of a book written by people who've forgotten they already know the subject, but seeing as it's one of only 2 books available you'll probably end up buying it...
