An alternative to Cairngorm...

Since I'm in Atlanta, I decided to attend the Atlanta Flash/Flex User Group.

It was a good time, I got to talk to Josh Adams and Charlie Arehart about my opinion on Slugworth and BlueDragon. They didn't convince me that my opinion is wrong.

But, opinions are like assholes, everyone has got one and they usually stink.

Now, on to the title of my post. Cliff Hall, who's teaching the Flex class that I'm taking demoed his new framework, pureMVC, during the show and tell portion of the meeting.

It looks really interesting and Cliff is billing it as a simpler architecture without the learning curve of Cairngorm.

Cliff is basing his pureMVC framework off the Gang of Four. He's got a demo Apollo application, Pantry Mouse, built using the framework as a proof of concept.

Unfortunately Cliff ran out of time last night. He's planning on launching the site pureMVC.org in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes open.

Hi kevin,
About your post title, we have created an opensource programming framework for Flex around the MVC pattern.
This framework is based in components and uses Reflection to invoke everyone of the component methods defined in a XML configuration file.
More info can be found in: http://www.guasax.com/blog/2007/04/11/guasax-flex-... and in this googlecode direction http://code.google.com/p/guasax/
There is a presentation written in English in: http://guasax.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/introduc...
We hope you found this information useful.
