Things have been rolling along quite nicely on the RobotLegs front lately. Joel Hooks put together two useful examples, check ‘em out:
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. Read more…
Want a framework like PureMVC but without Singletons, Service Locators, or casting? Perhaps one with Dependency Injection and Automatic Mediator Registration?
Well, you might enjoy RobotLegs AS3: yet another lightweight micro-architecture for Rich Internet Applications.

I guess that means that it’s time for me to release RobotLegs – an MVCS micro-architecture for Rich Internet Applications inspired by PureMVC, Mate and Swiz! But first, I have to write a little demo application for it.. coming soon!

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.

Just in case you thought that there was a clear cut definition of MVC:

Just came across some great video tutorials on Niel Webb’s Blog:
