Recorded webinar: Flex App Architecture with Presentation Model and Spring ActionScript
February 19th, 2010
The recording from my Flex application architecture webinar is live. In it, I talk about how I used the Presentation Model pattern and dependency injection with Spring ActionScript to build the CodeConference Desktop which is an AIR application and instructional tool. Each time I add a major feature or modify the CodeConference Desktop, you can expect a new webcast or webinar explaining how I did it. The installer badge for the app is in the sidebar.
The next feature I’ll be adding is a chat room using Adobe’s LiveCycle Collaboration Service (LCCS).
AIR app demonstrating the Presentation Model pattern and Spring ActionScript

eSeminar: Flex application architecture with dependency injection
January 25th, 2010
I’ll be giving an eSeminar on Flex application architecture on February 18th at 10 AM PST. I’ll summarize the architecture issues that Flex developers face and then demonstrate how using dependency injection can make your job easier and make your code more reusable, testable, and readable. I’ll be showing you how I built an application using Spring ActionScript.
For those of you who have attended some of my previous architecture eSeminars for Adobe in years past, I encourage you to attend to see how I do things now. If you’re not familiar with dependency injection, I think this presentation will change the way you work!
