A reasonable introduction,

This review is from: Fusebox : Methodology & Techniques, ColdFusion Edition (Paperback)
First of all, I want to say the techniques outlined in this book will make you a much, much better ColdFusion programmer. There is no question that Fusebox makes the entire programming process in ColdFusion easier and more controlled. It also means that you write code that is easier to modifiy, reuse, and debug. My programming skills have increased dramatically since learning Fusebox, and the projects I am able to work on are much more complex and powerful.That being said, I consider this to be a somewhat poorly written book. Steve Nelson is a brilliant programmer, but he is not the best writer, and this is demonstrated in the prose of this book. Demand and pressure for a book about Fusebox meant that this book was printed before it was ready. I'm not sure whether a professional editor was ever brought in to go over this book. I want to be clear: the content itself is not difficult to understand, and allows a firm grasp of Fusebox techniques. I highly recommend that if you are a ColdFusion programmer, that you purchase this book. However, you may find (as I did), that the overall presentation of the content comes off as amateurish, especially in the layout of the book and in its writing style. It's the ideas in the book that make it worth it; Fusebox isn't just about naming conventions or directory structures--it's a complete methodology of software development. The introduction by Hal Helms, who is a pretty good writer, is predictably eloquent with a slight scholarly kick. By the way, if you're starting out in ColdFusion, I would recommend that you get your hand on one of Ben Forta's books first. He provides the best introduction to ColdFusion; this book assumes some familiarity with ColdFusion.

Interesting Methodology, but this Book is Out of Date,

This review is from: Fusebox : Methodology & Techniques, ColdFusion Edition (Paperback)
Reading through this book, I didn't realize that it was for the 2.0 version of this methodology. Version 3.01 is out now and is dramatically different from 2.0--almost to the point where this book is unusable. However, it did help me understand what Fusebox is all about, which I was able to apply to the 3.0 version.I recommend waiting till the authors update their book to the 3.0 version of fusebox. ...

Look at the free Fusebox docs first...,

This review is from: Fusebox : Methodology & Techniques, ColdFusion Edition (Paperback)
First, fusebox is great. I started using it and I am doing more with less code. I have been programming web apps for about 3 years and fusebox is the best methodology for WEB programmming because of its various levels of implementation and open-source approach...now, about the book...I will say I commend the authors/editors for publishing a fusebox book, but I wish they had more time to edit and organize it. It has good content, but is hard to follow because it is not clearly organzied. In addition, some areas stop short of discussing each point involving a method in fusebox. For example, CF_ReuseForm has three different usages, but NONE are THOROUGHLY explained. Save some dough and get the PDF version. I guess the first edition/version of some books turn out better in future editions, and here is hoping that Steve, etal, create a more clear and organized book for version 3 of fusebox.
