TARGET FORMAT (Duration):  Conference Presentation (1-4 Hours),

AGENDA:  This course is a sequel to the Adobe Flex 4 Microarchitectures: The PureMVC Framework course (also available). Microarchitectures are groups of design patterns prepared to work together in concert. PureMVC represents a leading alternative to the well-known Cairngorm framework. PureMVC is a light framework for creating applications based on the class Model-View-Controller meta design pattern. It has a very narrow goal, to provide design patterns AND development patterns to help you separate your programming into three distinct areas; data, user interface, and the application logic. It is approachable and powerful with minimal tedium and repetition in development.

In this ADVANCED PureMVC session we will overview some high powered add-on utilities for PureMVC and discuss weakpoints to the framework and solutions to get around those potential problems.

While the examples shown will be specific to Adobe Flex 4 for deployment to the browser, this session is equally relevant for application developers of other technologies including Adobe Flex 4 for Adobe AIR desktop deployment.

AUDIENCE: Intermediate to advanced Adobe Flash CS5 and Adobe Flex 4 developers with equivalent basic PureMVC knowledge and ActionScript 3.0 knowledge.

LAPTOP REQUIREMENT FOR ATTENDEES: [Optional ]

TAKE-AWAY: Attendees will sharpen their skills with PureMVC and accelerate project development with advanced techniques. All source code and documentation will be available to attendees.
