Presentation Transcript

  1. Building Fusebox Frameworks Jeff Peters jeff.peters@bigfoot.com

  2. What is Fusebox? • An Emerging Standard • A Way to Think About Web Applications • A Way to Organize Development • A Way to Manage Dev Projects

  3. What is Fusebox? • An Emerging Standard • A Way to Think About Web Applications • A Way to Organize Development • A Way to Manage Dev Projects

  4. An Emerging Standard • Created by Steve Nelson and a gang of hundreds • Continues to develop and expand • “Is not a religion” – Hal Helms • “May actually be a cult” – Michael Smith

  5. What is Fusebox? • An Emerging Standard • A Way to Think About Web Applications • A Way to Organize Development • A Way to Manage Dev Projects

  6. A Way to Think About Web Applications • Provide a standard way to organize an application • Control program flow in a very uniform manner • Group like functionality together

  7. What is Fusebox? • An Emerging Standard • A Way to Think About Web Applications • A Way to Organize Development • A Way to Manage Dev Projects

  8. A Way to Organize Development • Great for team development • New team members can learn app quickly • Revisiting old apps is much easier

  9. What is Fusebox? • An Emerging Standard • A Way to Think About Web Applications • A Way to Organize Development • A Way to Manage Dev Projects

  10. A Way to Manage Dev Projects • Modularity allows much better development control • Pre-code prototyping and documentation • Dev manager can make assignments that make sense

  11. Fusebox Frameworks • Main application • Circuit apps • Fuseactions • Fuses • Fusebox File

  12. Fusebox Frameworks • Main application • Circuit apps • Fuseactions • Fuses • Fusebox File

  13. Main Application • Many Fusebox apps have a two-tiered approach • Main app controls interaction of circuit apps • Think of it as the main power junction

  14. Fusebox Frameworks • Main application • Circuit apps • Fuseactions • Fuses • Fusebox File

  15. Circuit Apps • Have specific areas of responsibility • Each can contain a variety of fuseactions • Think of them as the breakers in a power panel

  16. Fusebox Frameworks • Main application • Circuit apps • Fuseactions • Fuses • Fusebox File

  17. Fuseactions • Represent specific actions to be performed • Each requires one or more fuses • Think of them as the wires

  18. Fusebox Frameworks • Main application • Circuit apps • Fuseactions • Fuses • Fusebox File

  19. Fuses • Individual CF files • May be app, dsp, act, qry or “roll your own” • Think of them as lights, switches, motors, etc.

  20. Fusebox Frameworks • Main application • Circuit apps • Fuseactions • Fuses • Fusebox File

  21. Fusebox File • The control center for an app • Basically a big CFSWITCH on application.fuseaction • Knows what to call and what to call NEXT (XFAs)

  22. Fusedoc • Standard for documenting fuses • Based somewhat on JavaDoc • Details fuse responsibilities and attributes

  23. Sample Fusedoc <!--- || BEGIN FUSEDOC || || Properties || Name: dsp_showCatalog.cfm Author: jeff.peters@bigfoot.com || Responsibilities || I display the current catalog contents and allow the user to get details about specific items. || Attributes || --> XFA.showItemDetails: STRING (a fuseaction) <-- ItemID: INTEGER NOT NULL (item's catalog ID number) || END FUSEDOC ||--->

  24. Mind Mapping • Free-form outlining • Framework visualization • VisualMind, MindMapper Plus, etc.

  25. Sample Mind Map

  26. Fuseminder • Reads text outline file • Builds Fusebox framework

  27. Fuseminder Syntax • <cf_fuseminder outline=“myFile.txt”> • Optional attributes: • Location ( string; location of main application fusebox) • Verbose ( “yes” | “no” ) • Indenter ( string; outline’s indent string. Default is two spaces )

  28. Sample Outline BookEm:jpeters@ots-inc.com Catalog showCatalog dsp_showCatalog.cfm <!--- || BEGIN FUSEDOC || || Properties || Name: dsp_showCatalog.cfm Author: jeff.peters@bigfoot.com || Responsibilities || I display the current catalog contents and allow the user to get details about specific items. || Attributes || --> XFA.showItemDetails: STRING (a fuseaction) <-- ItemID: INTEGER NOT NULL (item's catalog ID number) || END FUSEDOC ||---> showItem qry_getItem.cfm
