Due to our last discussion about code examples, I would like to discuss the procedure we should follow when writing these code examples.
I also would like to point out that there is a difference between writing Component Code Examples which should illustrate the functionality of a component (Spark-DropDownList or MX- ColorPicker), and, Application Code Examples which should illustrate how to build (large-scale) Flex applications. I am personally more interested on writing Application Code Examples with or without the use of Microarchitectures, because I think the community and Adobe already created lots of Component Code Examples: Flex 3, http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/index.html Flex 4.6, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/index.html ... Proposal: Code Example / Application Development Procedure This is the proposal for writing (large-scale) Application Code Examples: 'Before working on your Application Code make sure you have specified the requirements of the application in a Specification Document, and, you have defined an Application Coding Standard. An "Application Coding Standard" consists of a set of Nanoarchitectures / Architectural Patterns which describe the structure of your application, and, some coding guidelines collected in a Coding Conventions document.' For more information please check out the diagram on this site: http://code.google.com/p/masuland/wiki/ApplicationDevelopmentProcedure I would be happy to find some kind of consensus on this topic here in Apache Flex. -- Sebastian On Jan 16, 2012, at 8:37 AM, Peter Elst wrote: >> And thus, we should probably not use application frameworks in our examples >> on the project website.
