PureMVC Interview on the Flex Show |
|
Wednesday, 30 January 2008 |
I was recently interviewed by Jeffery Houser and John Wilker for their weekly podcast The Flex Show. It was an interesting process, since we did the interview by Skype and recorded our sides separately from the microphone, and then the show was later assembled into a much tighter form by the guys afterward. But even with their expert audio slicing and dicing, it's difficult to help the fact that I cover a lot of territory with my answers and could be seen to ramble a bit... :) PS: For any 6502 coders out there, I didn't shake all the cobwebs off the memory when unexpectedly asked to compare assembly language programming to today's languages. I errantly mentioned that a Jump to Subroutine (or JSR) was only allowed 127 bytes one direction or 128 in the other or you had to use a less performant method. It was actually the Conditional Branch instructions (such as BNE Branch if Not Equal) that were more performant but subject to the 127/128 byte target limit. The JSR or JMP opcodes were were actually the less performant because they had to work with a full address, and the comparison had to be done separately. This came to me in the shower the next morning. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
