PureMVC Framework for Typescript Released |
|
Saturday, 10 November 2012 |
|
 TypeScript is a new programming language announced in October by Microsoft. It was written Anders Hejlsberg (designer of C#, Delphi, Turbo Pascal) with specifications published under an Apache License. Its goal is to output JavaScript from a superset of the language which allows compile-time type checking, classes, interfaces, modules and more while still understanding vanilla JavaScript.
Frequent contributor Frederic Saunier immediately set about porting both PureMVC Standard and MultiCore versions and their unit tests to TypeScript. Once that was done, he powered on through a port of the Employee Admin demo, which acts as a sort of 'Rosetta Stone' of PureMVC since it has been ported to many platforms. Once again, merci beaucoup, Frederic. As of this writing, the TypeScript Specification is still not finalized, but the ports, tests, and demo are all operating smoothly. Frederic plans to keep them updated with each new release of TypeScript itself.

The guys over at Pyjamas (a Python port of GWT) have made their compiler so efficient that it can take virtually any Python library and it will compile to Javascript. They loved the look of PureMVC Python, and decided to do a couple of demos that use it. • Pyjamas Project • EmployeeAdmin Demo: Original / Pyjamas • Pyjamas PureMVC Timesheet Demo |

Chandima Cumaranatunge, co-author of the O'Rielly book AS3 Design Patterns, and long-time PureMVC community member recently created a simple Flash/AS3 MultiCore demonstration application accompanied by an informative article that's an excellent introduction to the benefits of working with MultiCore. • Who Moved the Cheese? - Demo / Source / Article

Ahmed Nuaman has published a well conceived and received AS3/PureMVC tutorial at FlashTuts.com. It's a good place for the learner to get their feet wet, and goes into the difference between using PureMVC with Flex as opposed to Flash or pure AS3. • Understanding the PureMVC Open Source Framework • FlashTuts Website
