Hi Folks, Well, the first PureMVC demo is up. Have a peek at CodePeek, an Apollo application that uses the PureMVC framework to talk to Google Code.
I don't know about you but it miffs me a bit that Google Code has built in language searches for languages like Eiffle, Modula-2 and REBOL, but nothing relevant to today's Flex/Flash/Apollo developer. If you want to search for code in Actionscript/MXML, Coldfusion, or CSS, for example, you have to enter a cumbersome regular expression along with your keyword search. Googs, if your listening, that pegs the red on the Bogosity Meter, IMHO. So CodePeek adds those languages relevant to our coding world in a handy dropdown. Also, when you do a search, it saves it in a local XMLDatabase on the user's filesystem, so you can get back to them easily even after you close the app. Unfortunately, the Apollo alpha currently doesn't allow us to cut and paste from its internal browser but we're told it will when the 1.0 ships. Keep in mind this is a demo. So do this: 1) Go to http://PureMVC.org 2) Click on the Demo link 3) Click on the Download link 4) Peruse and/or download the source code if you like 5) Install Apollo runtime if you haven't already 6) Click on the Install CodePeek link 7) Try CodePeek out for yourself 8) Stay tuned for more documentation explaining how CodePeek works and best practices for implementing your first application in PureMVC. -=Cliff>
