Fusebox: Developing ColdFusion Applications

(From the back cover) Fusebox: Developing ColdFusion Applications is the most complete resource for learning to develop ColdFusion applications with the Fusebox standard. Fusebox is a free web application standard that was created as a standard for writing web applications. (This methodology is supported and promoted by Allaire/Macromedia.) The aim of this methodology is to reduce the high failure rate of these applications. If a team of developers uses Fusebox to write ColdFusion applications, the applications will be written more quickly and effectively because they will all code according to the same standard. Fusebox's popularity is growing daily and will grow even more with the next release of ColdFusion. The authors explain concepts such as the Fusebox lifecycle process, testing, and deployment. The appendixes are full of extra Fusebox references and resources. The web site includes databases, files, and code from this book; current enhancements and revisions to the material in this book; links to other Fusebox resources; the latest updates to the core of Fusebox, for any version.

Making Full Use of the Tools at Hand

Many ColdFusion programmers are not aware of tools that can save them time and provide a large library of reusable code. This article discusses tools available to programmers that will make thier jobs much easier. This article covers "Document Templates", which are stored in the "New Document" section of the File menu in Studio. By the end of this article, we will have several starter templates for you to start off your collection of generic, reusable code. Hopefully, with a better understanding of Document Templates, they will become an integral part of your development style and increase the speed, accuracy, and consistency of the coding of your applications.
