360|flex and cf.objective() slides

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

  1. Thanks Laura!
  2. Thank you Laura, I've heard only great things about Mate, looking forward to learn about it, and have some mate too :-)
  3. Would you be interested in presenting the "Mate for Coldfusion developers" via connect to the Queenland ( Australia ) Coldfusion Usergroup some time? Send me an email if you are interested.
  4. Thanks! Do you also have an audio recording?
  5. Laura, I saw your presentation at 360|Flex and was VERY impressed with Mate and how you showed the ways Mate can improve your application's maintainability.

    The only thing I don't really like about it is the injection method for defining where the injection points are. I had an interesting idea that I kind of "ripped" off of the flexunit4 session. What if the views defined their injection points using metadata:

    [Bindable]
    [Injection(type="SelectedContact")]
    public var currentSelection:ContactVO;

    Then, when a view was instantiated, the metadata would be examined to see if injection was needed. The injections would still be defined in the map, but it would be similar to Events. In other words, you would define that if a "SelectedContact" injection type was found, then an injection would be created.

    I don't know if I'm describing this well, but it would be a really interesting way to keep the views out of the map. The views would just say, "Hey, whenever you get the SelectedContact, let me know!"

    Just an idea,
    Mark
  6. Oh and by the way, would you be able to release the example code that you used for the 360|Flex presentation? I'm still a little confused on some of the Presentation Model subtleties.

    Thanks,
    Mark
  7. Very interested in the code from your 360|Flex presentation, interested in specifics on your module loading and model management including with use in modules... modules... modules...

    Working on some basic ground work for what I hope will become the base for a much larger application. Modules are very important and I'm impressed by Mates dependency injection.
  8. Thank you! I'm sure that it was a great presentation! Thank you again!!!
  9. What 'softBinding' in PropertyInjector stands for?
