Luke Bayes and Ali Mills of PatternPark presented 9 Flex Frameworks for the Silicon Valley Flex Users Group (SilvaFUG) at Adobe’s offices in San Francisco.
Those frameworks are: Cairngorm, PureMVC, ARP, MVCS, Flest, Model-Glue: Flex, ServerBox Foundry, Guasax, and Slide.
The final conclusion was that PureMVC by Cliff Hall beats out the alternatives. We prefer PureMVC because of:
- Composition over inheritence
- Liberal use of Interfaces
- Indirection is used but not overwhelming
- Instance members hide singleton references from application code
- MXML views can be extremely thin
- Benefits of Cairngorm, with few of the disadvantages
