Scotch on the Rocks, day 3

My second presentation at Scotch On the Rocks was Flex Client Architecture & Best Practices. The one topic in the presentation which gained most attention was probably PresentationModels. I would say there is not really any magic to how to use PresentationModels, but it is more down to what kind of logic you put there and how it relates to your services. The PresentationModel pattern is also independent of any framework you would put on top of Flex.

If you have an interest in presentation patterns, I would recommend to look at Paul Williams great presentation pattern blog series. He also has a series covering how to unit test the different patterns, which most developers should find interesting.

Scotch on the Rocks, day 2

Today I had the first of two presentations I will have at Scotch on the Rocks 2008, todays topic was Modularizing Flex applications - Cairngorm & Modules. It was good to see so many Coldfusion ( and Flex ) developers being interested in how to use Flex modules and Cairngorm.

Tomorrow I will present "Flex Client Architecture & Best Practices", where topics like PresentationModel and unit testing will be covered.

As I also announced on 360|Flex Europe in Milan, Adobe Consulting will over the next few months share some of our best practices in a series of articles. A topic could be for example "Cairngorm and Modules". Steven Webster has posted a call for topics blog post
