Advanced PureMVC for Actionscript and Flex Developers

PureMVC is seen by many as the most versatile and robust Actionscript framework amongst Flash and Flex developers. It provides a mature, well-structured base for developing projects, from short-term campaign microsites to large-scale Flash, Flex and Adobe AIR applications.

This course teaches you to develop modular multi-SWF applications using PureMVC including multi-core PureMVC and the use of PureMVC Pipes to communicate between modules. It also covers many other advanced uses of PureMVC including best-practice techniques for dynamically created mediators, reusable proxies, startup management, tab navigator management, dealing with deferred instantiation and many more. It’s a fantastic opportunity to consolidate your existing PureMVC skills and take them to the next level.

What will you learn?

The course provides an in-depth guide to advanced use of PureMVC, with a focus on how to develop modular applications consisting of more than one SWF. It includes the most relevant techniques that we have encountered in our work with PureMCV over the last few years and provides helpful tips and tricks for best-practice PureMVC development.

One of the areas covered by the course is the use of multi-core PureMVC and the PureMVC Pipes utility.

The course combines essential theoretical knowledge with a large amount of hands-on coding time.
