BRIX Dev

BRIX was designed using the basic concepts of the Fusebox framework, but probably because it was written before the framework matured, it doesn't use the framework itself. The article "Introduction to the Fusebox Framework" Gives a great overview of how the framework is supposed to work. The current version of the Fusebox framework is available on Fusebox.org.

The BRIX application is similar to Fusebox in the following ways:

• All functionality is broken down into fuses, or small files that perform one single action per file
• Each directory is controlled by a single index.cfm file which acts as the Fusebox

Differences:

• The Fusebox framework is not used at all (so we're missing on some of the benefits we might derive from it)
• BRIX does not use the concept of circuits; each directory is a separate fusebox rather than a circuit within the same Fusebox application
