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).

Next thursday I’ll be giving a free webinar where I’ll be talking about Flex application architecture using the Presentation Model pattern and Spring ActionScript for dependency injection. I’ll be demonstrating using an RSS reader I built with AIR which you can install below. The source is included with the application, so just run the app and right-click to view the source.

At our January L.A. Flex meeting, Michael Fretz showed us an eclipse plugin for embedding fonts called MojoFont. If you’re in the L.A. area, be sure to check out our meetup group.  Follow me on twitter @tombray so you know when I post good stuff like this!

At our January L.A. Flex meeting, George McKinney demonstrated some examples using the Flex-Ajax bridge. If you’re in the L.A. area, be sure to check out our meetup group.  Follow me on twitter @tombray so you know when I post good stuff like this!

At our January L.A. Flex meeting, longtime member Michael Allman talked about his approach to Flex application architecture.

At our January L.A. Flex meeting, Cory McMahon showed us how to write custom filters in Flex, demonstrated some PixelBender examples, and talked about High Dynamic Range Imaging in Flex. If you’re in the L.A. area, be sure to check out our meetup group.  Follow me on twitter @tombray so you know when I post good stuff like this!

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!

Hi All,

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I’m moving our group’s site from groups.adobe.com to Meetup.com.  If you’re in So Cal, be sure to stop by.  At our meetings we get 3 members to present for 20 minutes each on a variety of topics and then we head over to the local watering hole for drinks and networking.  Join up!

Cheers,

Tom
