I've uploaded my presentation slides in PDF format. While they don't contain the animations that described event flow, I hope they will still be useful.

    This looks really great. I was quite convinced by Mate as it was and these slides only made my conviction stronger. As I see it, Mate is more or less the only serious contender in the Flex application framework scene, PureMVC doesn't come close to the elegance of Mate and Cairngorm hardly deserves a mention.

    Thanks, Theo!
    It's good to know you like Mate, specially coming from somebody who has made some detailed critiques to other frameworks :)

    I've been a long time user of Cairngorm since there were no other alternatives in these early stages of Flex development. For me, using Mate is a breath of fresh air.
    On one hand, Its like a new and improved version of Cairngorm that addresses all its flaws while retaining the good stuff. On the other hand, its like a version of PureMVC built for Flex instead of pure AS3.
    I've been longing to get rid of all those Model.getInstance() calls from my views for a long time.
    So, thanks for the framework and I hope it catches on with more people soon.

    I've been studying two frameworks before I start a new Flex project (Cairngorm and PureMVC). I am really glad I found Mate and I've read great things about it. From what I've seen, it seems much simpler and natural than the other two.

    Thanks for creating this!

    Hello there!

    Congrats for this framework. I was looking for some easy to use gui frameworks like the following (although these are for Java SE):

    http://jmatter.org/

    Thought I didn't find something similar, happily I found Mate. It seems easier to learn than the previously existing Cairngorm, easyMVC or ARP frameworks. Without being an expert, Mate seems simple and powerful than those other frameworks.

    BTW, I've seen some other comparisons talking good about mate:

    Nice job 'mate' people!

    Ricardo,<br /><br />I've just tested the link and it's working (at least now)
