Readme
Have I mentioned that I love GitHub? When you put a readme file into a folder that file is formatted and presented nicely through GitHub’s file browser. For example: https://github.com/visionmedia/uikit Scrolling down a little we can see a nicely formatted readme file.

I’m currently using a modified version of git-prompt that looks something like this:
RobotLegs Updates, Demos and Unit Testing
Things have been rolling along quite nicely on the RobotLegs front lately. Joel Hooks put together two useful examples, check ‘em out: RobotLegs Image Gallery Demo RobotLegs and FlexUnit 4
Parsley: Your Favourite Herb?
I’ve just started looking into Parsley: http://www.spicefactory.org/parsley/ First thought: version 2 is exactly what I’ve been trying to build with RobotLegs.

Getting Started with Git on Mac OS X
Some Background I’ve recently switched from using SVN to using Git as my source control management tool of choice. It took a little while to get to grips with, but it rocks! Git is not an evolution of SVN. It is entirely different. Git is a distributed revision control system – everybody working on a project has their own full copy of the repository and its entire history.
Flexible RIA Architecture: PureMVC and Mate
I’ve been using PureMVC for my Flash/Flex applications for quite a while now, and have generally found it to work quite well. Besides the obviously annoying abundance of boiler-plate code, it does a decent job of separating concerns, and has helped me to build better applications. Lately, however, I’ve been building an application for which PureMVC has turned out to be a pretty poor fit. The term that some people have used to describe this kind of application is “Document-Based”.
