Fusebox 5.5 Implicit Circuit Pathing

Posted on September 13, 2007 at 7:21 PM in Fusebox

The other day Sean released a FB5.5 update to the Cat Club demo application, so I downloaded it to play around a bit with the new toy. I am truly excited about the option to eliminate XML from one's Fusebox applications.

I'm a hands-on kinda guy. That applies to code as well. The more hands-on I am with it, the better I understand it.

Recently, however, I was put into a situation where I either had to get the project done in 10 days, or an enormous FREE advertising potential would be lost for a minimum of 8 months, and likely a year. That conundrum made me go "hmmmmmmmmmm", and I ended up using some applications that I knew absolutely nothing about. Interestingly enough, I managed to get the project done, and the free advertising brought thousands of visitors within hours, and they've continued to come.
