The book is organized by a paragraph number which is an unusual style for this fledgling publisher. And there is a tremendous amount of white space. Fusebox is introduced and discussed in an easy-to-read, comfortable style. Unfortunately to go through the tutorials, you have to download the code from the techspedition.com website. While not difficult to do, this book should have it on CD, perhaps an e-book too. I did not work through these tutorials or work though the code snippets to find any errors; perhaps later.

However, no where does it say that Fusebox is a coding methodology AND that there is no added software box that needs to be purchased [currently]. So Fusebox is free of any out-of-pocket expense. I raised a question to one of our CFUG Fusebox presenters, on the number and size of files that is inherent in using the Fusebox architecture compared to a project's customary CF code. He couldn't or wouldn't, and this book does not answer this question or address a project's architectural concerns either. This may become significant as one does real-world projects.

This book was received free in a drawing at ColderFusion.com UG 9/02 meeting. I have attended 2 prior meetings where Fusebox was a topic. One was a promotional seminar given by the author.
