Re: [Flashcoders] PureMVC or RobotLegs ?

2010-09-14 Thread Joel Stransky
I've done my last three projects in robotlegs. All were different sized
projects and I found myself dong no more or less work on any of them. I'd
have to say it's just more nimble than PureMVC. It's easy to grow your app
as scopes tend to creep.

Re: [Flashcoders] PureMVC or RobotLegs ?

2010-09-13 Thread Karim Beyrouti
Thanks for the advise, guess that's a good reason to start with Pure MVC, then 
move onto RL. Do you use RL / MVC for all projects, or just in specific 
instances ?

Cheers

 We're using RobotLegs a ton these days, it's fantastic.
 But I'd ultimately recommend learning MVC frameworks with PureMVC, as I
 think experience with it makes for stronger fundamentals. You end up wiring
 some stuff in with PureMVC manually that RobotLegs more or less automates.
 If the goal is to get the MVC patterns  usage down correctly, that is.
 In practice I'm definitely finding RL faster to develop with (particularly
 with AS3 Signals), though with the caveat that handing off an RL project to
 a dev not familiar with it can spawn its own set of annoyances.
