Mate Flex Framework

Thank you all who attended my sessions.

For cf.objective(), I focused on ColdFusion developers, so you'll see some ColdFusion code there. For 360|Flex Indianapolis, I focused on what things you can do to make it easier to develop large applications. It is a completely new presentation, which was not recorded (although we got some video, I am not sure if it has good quality). As promised, here are both slides decks.

Breaking down your applications with Mate

Mate for ColdFusion developers

Join us Tuesday at 4:00pm at 360 Flex Indy. Laura we will be going over an example and talking about how you can organize a large application. She will cover LocalEventMaps, modules and how the presentation model pattern works well with Mate.

This is the description of the session:

Breaking down your applications with Mate.

As an architectural framework, Mate helps you break down your application into specialized parts. As applications grow larger, they might benefit from the further division into specialized modules. In this session, Laura will show how to take advantage of special Mate features such as LocalEventMaps to help the development of modular Flex applications. She will also discuss the design patterns that work best with Mate to aid the development of simpler views that delegate some of its functionality, which is most needed when creating larger applications or working in teams.

Also, Laura will be giving a short introduction to Mate in the Code Jam room at noon if you need a primer.

See you there.

I'll be presenting Mate at cf.objective(). The presentation will focus on ColdFusion developers and how they can leverage Mate when developing applications with a Flex UI.

Every framework has its advantages and benefits. In this session we will discuss what features of the Mate Flex framework are most beneficial to a ColdFusion developer. We will cover how to use Remote Objects to send and receive data from ColdFusion, how to take advantage of the Flex Messaging gateway, and how to create and use mock services to test and make it easier to develop when the ColdFusion services may not yet be created.

See you there!
