Penetrate Into Your Audience Easily
Thread posted on Nov 05 by Mathur Deepak

With Nokia garnering 40% of the world's market share in the mobile phone industry, they are easily the market leaders in the mobile phone trade. Watch what the leaders do and you can also do wonders. Nokia had conducted a very successful mobile applications developers conference in the month of January this year and they are back again this winter. It is a wonderful opportunity for all web, Java, Symbian and Adobe Flash Lite developers to showcase their applications and get a chance to be famous.

The Forum Nokia Developer Conference will be held at the Taj Residency in Bangalore on the 7th of December, 2009. Everyone who wants to get an idea of how to penetrate into your target audience easily should take part in this event which promises to be bigger this time.

FlexPMD
Thread posted on Sep 10 by Sugumar21feb

Hi all,

    FlexPMD is a tool that helps to improve code quality by auditing any AS3/Flex source directory and detecting common bad practices, such as:


    1.Unused code (functions, variables, constants, etc.)

    2.Inefficient code (misuse of dynamic filters, heavy constructors, etc.)

    3.Over-complex code (nested loops, too many conditionals, etc.)

    4.Over-long code (classes, methods, etc.)

    5.Incorrect use of the Flex component lifecycle (commitProperties, etc.)


    Links:

            http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexpmd/FlexPMD

 


Copy the downloaded  zip file  and extract to your any location.

1. Open the command prompt and goto the extracted path.

2. Use the command: java -Xmx256m -jar flex-pmd-command-line-1.0.RC3.jar -s \src -o \dest and enter.
  
    (Here src: represents the source path and dest: represents the destination path to save the report).

3. The report is generated in the xml format in the specified destination location.

This is very helful for writing code in adobe Coding standards and more efficiently.



RobotLeg Framework
Thread posted on Sep 01 by Sugumar21feb

Hi All,

         FrameWork:
   
    There are some great Flash and Flex application frameworks out there right now. Mate,Cairngorm, Swiz and PureMVC stand out.
    Hence all the architectural frameworks share some common goals:

  • Help developers write good, clean, understandable, testable, maintainable code.
  • Help them write that code faster.
  • Provide an easy-to-use mechanism for application and subsystem inter-communication.
  • Provide an easy-to-use mechanism for wiring distinct parts of the application together and keeping those parts loosely coupled.



But there are some Critical flaws on the above mentioned Frameworks.

1) Singletons(Cairngorm)  - complicated for build a modular application and unit testing also becomes very nightmare.
2) Using the Display List as an Application Event Bus
3) Casting
4) The Service/Model Locator Pattern
5) The Presenter Pattern
6) Injecting into View Components

By overcoming all these flaws  the new micro-architectural framework named "Robotlegs" has been released.

RobotLegs:


Robotlegs is a pure AS3 micro-architecture (framework) with a light footprint and limited scope. Simply put, Robotlegs is there to help you wire your objects together. It provides the glue that your application needs to easily function in a decoupled way. Through the use of automated metadata based dependency injection Robotlegs removes boilerplate code in an application. By promoting loose coupling and avoiding the use of Singletons and statics in the framework Robotlegs can help you write code that is highly testable.
 

What it will do?

  • It provides a mechanism for wiring objects together.
  • It promotes a usage pattern for keeping your code loosely coupled and easy to test.
  • It has a narrow scope: wiring.



Robotlegs is powered by three things: Dependency Injection, Events, and the Flash Display List.

The current implementation is extremely lightweight: approx 9 kB.


see the full documentation of this framework here:
