- think of using Flex instead of Flash - get a competent and accountable architect to enforce best coding practices
- define standards of coding up front, and enforce those standards - use source control (Subversion, CVS, Source Safe) - use develoment servers, staging servers, and production servers. Everyone should have the exact same setup such as Eclipse + JRun + ColdFusion all installed on their box (or whatever your setup is). That way, everyone can run the app and if something doesn't work, it's the person's machine or them doing something wrong, and not the code. It's ok if the actual database doesn't exist on the same box, although, I encourage it to be. Staging is to test app before it goes to production, but not on a dev box. - time must be allocated for code-reviews and re-factoring. This should go into time estimations given to client. - use a directory structure that encourages re-use of code, even from other projects legalities permitting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Lorah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 8:44 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] large projects This is a general question about workflow. For a long time I have been working on Flash projects independently. Over time everything has gotten bigger. Projects are now at a scale where I must collaborate with other Flash programmers. I am looking for suggestions about best practices for organizing and dividing up work on large Flash projects. What are problems and solutions that people have encountered when sharing work? _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
