Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 :: Seperate Mailing List :: Component developers - Framework Devlopment

[judah]

In the Flash world there is: FlashCoders - questions related to coding in flash - usually you've looked everywhere else first FlashNewbies - questions for newbies http://www.figleaf.com/Community/listserv.cfm ExtendFlash - questions related to JSFL, XML2UI, Commands, Behaviours, Timeline Effects and Tools http://www.flashguru.co.uk/extending-flash-mailing-list/ These lists served there purpose great. I could get nearly any question answered from these three lists except when it came to component development. There was nothing for that and it was really missed. I wouldn't mind if we do the same thing for Flex and add a component/framework development list to the list where we can ask about list components (eh hehe - couldn't resist): FlexCoders - questions related to coding in flash - usually you've looked everywhere else first Flex2Coders - i really want to add a flex 2 list but only if the adobe people would join FlexNewbies - questions for flex newbies FlexExtension - questions related to extending the flex ide, flex components or flex framework Maybe something like that???

I don't think too granular of lists works well as there's too much overlap in a lot of things. But I do see one problem arising with one super list like this - not only are the spectrum of topics vast, now you got to content with two major versions of the language in use (1.5 and 2), and so you'll have to do a lot prefacing of context in every single message. So... to alleviate that, I created the following: Flex 2- General :: General discussion regarding anything Flex 2. http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-General Flex 2- Coldfusion :: Topics regarding Flex to CF integration http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-CF Flex Builder 2 :: Discussion regarding the IDE, debugging, design, etc.... http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-Builder Flex Jobs :: Recruiters welcome! http://groups.google.com/group/FlexJobs Tim Hoff wrote: I agree with you.  It might be beneficial to have a separate list for component/framework related threads.  It's probably cumbersome to weed through the development questions and answers some times.  I personally joined this list because I was led here by a link at Adobe and the list description was applicable to my Flex usage. The flexcoders mailing list is for enterprise software developers, developing Rich Internet Applications using Macromedia Flex. The list will discuss methods and practices for Flex RIA development, including MXML and ActionScript 2.0, as well as best-practices including testing, design patterns, J2EE and .NET integration, etc. However, imho this is a two-way street.  Application developers learn and benefit from component/framework threads.  And conversely, some component/framework developers appreciate the feedback from developers that are using Flex to create real enterprise solutions.  I am slowly but surely digging deeper into the Flex framework and its advanced concepts.  So for me, it's good to have both sides in the same place.

You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose." - Abraham Lincoln -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
