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”.

Got Me Some Flex Builder 3
I bought my own copy of Flex Builder 3 this morning.. Stoked! Running it as a Ganymede plugin. So far so good. Wish it had code generation (for getters and setters at least) and templates, but I’m sure they’ll be integrated one of these fine days.
Zend_Amf is moving along!
It’s great to see Zend_Amf moving along swiftly! Keep tabs on it by subscribing to Wade Arnold’s blog, or visiting:
