5.0 out of 5 stars Really clear writing; good info, July 11, 2002

By	Karl Barth (New Braufels, TX) - See all my reviews

Excellent book for both beginners and intermediate developers. I learned Fusebox the hard way, piecing together info from various sites. It wasn't easy, but Fusebox was worth it. Now, I manage a team of developers, all of who use FB. We find it usually takes people about a week of working with it to really "get it". We hired two new people, gave them this book, and when they finished they "got it" more than some of my older developers! Anyway, a very good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very clear and easy to understand, August 5, 2002

By	Michael Burrt (Camarillo, CA) - See all my reviews

I own both this book and Nat and Joe's book. Both are very good, but this one excels at being concise and to the point. I've had two people who I tried to explain Fusebox to, but they couldn't get it. I gave them Discovering Fusebox and they "got it".

Extremely clear with tutorials and example app. The book doesn't cover the Flip methodology, so if you want that, you might want to buy Nat's book too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to Fusebox, July 10, 2002

By	"ewilders" (Seattle) - See all my reviews

I found the book very clear and helpful. I had heard a lot about Fusebox before, but was always a bit leery of plunging in -- afraid I'd get lost. A great deal of care was put in this book to make sure that it conveys a lot of information while remaining easy to understand. In fact, it was so clear and easy to read, I had my manager read it and *he* even got it! Good book. Highly recommended.
