Some architectural pattern is going to be necessary if the app is of any size and has a team working on it. Otherwise, each developer will solve their problems in their own way and can lead to chaos. You can formulate the architectural pattern yourself or use a published framework. As you

I have never written an app using modules. I understand the logic behind it, I've just never had the need. Is there anything regarding modules that I should know before starting? On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 10:27 AM, valdhor valdhorli...@embarqmail.comwrote: I have an extremely large enterprise

I think the discussion of modules is only relevant in so far as some frameworks (Cairngorm?) won't work well with them if they make use of singletons. Any reasonable-sized single-module app (a pretty large proportion of Flex apps, I'd wager) benefits from a good MVC architecture. On Wed, Mar 24,

No worries. I just think the two choices (framework vs none, modules or none) are orthogonal. And if I were building non-trivial modules, I would want an MVC architecture within them. The first app I built was based on Joe Noteflight Berkovitz' MVCS article (i.e. no framework), and I used to
