Fusebox 4.1 Techniques with ColdFusion MX

Fusebox is a methodology that encourages reuse of code everywhere possible. A small set of core files sets the stage for creation of a completely modular website - all controlled by one page! All requests go through the single index.cfm page, however, a series of variables passed through will decide which "page" is displayed. Adopting this methodology ensures that all Fusebox developers will instantly understand the structure of your site.
