You can get the lastest episode of the gotoAndSay podcast where Leif Wells and I chat it up with the master homeskillet himself, Jesse Warden. The second episode of the bitchcast coming soon... :)

Of course I accidentally had to hit ok when I was looking at my date and properties times for planning an event in advance. And of course, it made my Flex Beta 3 crap out entirely and I can't use it. Anyone from adobe want to help me get this back to "as it was" so that I can finish my project... Colour me retarded.

Alrighty, I'm not ashamed to admit that I have little to zero experience with Caringorm - any version. I mean after all, I was a little bandwagoner that hopped on with at the Flex2 juncture so I don't feel at all ashamed that I haven't full heartedly adopted the popular, even de facto framework for RIA dev in Flex. So today I finally got around to implementing it for the start of a fair sized RIA that will be one of those applications that will be constantly being updated, features added - yes, the word is scalable I suppose. Wrapping your head around the framework really isn't that bad, and once you have it in place its pretty damn intuitive. One thing I ended up doing, was extending the interfaces ( Command and Responder in particular ) to have the naming follow the conventions I'm used to now in Flex, so I now have ICommand and IResponder, which to me makes more sense - if only because multiple people will inevitably be on this project and it gives them common footing stepping into the code to know immediately by the I, that we're dealing with an interface. So just getting my feet wet, but am I liking it? Yes. Why? Because I'm all for organization and structure and if nothing else, it affords this to team development. It means if i start setting stuff up with this framework ( it could be any framework really, as long as its strictly adhered to) that I'm encouraging team development and efficiency.

Another podcast is up over at gotoAndSay() where I tell Leif about FITC happenings and give my preso impressions( oh yes, preso by preso). Next week we'll have the shiznit, Jesse Warden as our "special" guest. Weeeeeeee!
