PureMVC Voices Podcast: Interview with Jens Krause
Sunday, 10 February 2008
In this Voices Podcast, I interview Jens Krause, an active member of the PureMVC community and creator of the new WS-Slideshow application.
WS Slideshow is a PureMVC-based Flash application for easily creating slideshows and embedding them into any website. Jens talks about his experiences building this and several other PureMVC applications he has written recently. You can download WS-Slideshow and use it free for private/non-commercial purposes. And you can find out more about Jens on his website.
The theme music for the Voices Podcast is by Sea of Arrows.

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.
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.
FlashDevelop has gained quite a bit of ground in the development community so naturally several folks have created templates to ease the burdon of creating implementation classes. We'll let you be the judge of which are the best.
Prudential wanted an intimate but exciting way of communicating with customers, so Downstream created a coffee table with a twist—the Interactive Coffee Table. Visitors can navigate floor plans, see and edit their agenda for the visit, and browse images and info about Prudentials history in a technologically advanced multiuser environment. Downstream's programmers used ActionScript 3 on the Adobe Air runtime, the PureMVC framework to keep the code well structured, and Papervision3D for various 3D effects in the application.
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.
The PureMVC AS3 / Flex EmployeeAdmin Demo has been refactored to use the standard demo look and feel, and to reflect the very latest best practices. If you are the author of a port of this demo, please read the version.txt file.
The AS3 Undo Utility adds the ability to undo/redo actions in your PureMVC based Flex, Flash or AIR applications. The latest version is ready for download, and be sure to check out the demo to see how to implement.
The 3.0 release of PureMVC C# Standard now ships with complete API docs and supports .NET 3.5 & Silverlight 2.0 UPDATE: Get your mobile on! VS2008 Solutions added for PocketPC, Smartphone, and Windows CE!
