[Golist] which AS3 and OOP book?

Thu Jan 24 05:50:29 PST 2008

Thankyou very much Cedric.

Code-Complete-Practical-Handbook-Construction seem very good. I added it to
cart. Also UML is an interesting tool. I will dig into that soon, and thank
you for other information. And blog RSS is aded :)

Best regards.

Excuse me I read quickly your e-mail, I am sorry for mistaken.
But at least the remark can help somebody else ;)

> in fully OOP way
Mmm yes good choice, I don't think that you should be using OOP partially.

In term of architecture of projects you should have a look at application
frameworks:
Cairngorm (official Adobe) or PureMVC.
You should also definitely have a look at Design Patterns, this is
essential.
(Flex 3 modules are also good helpers to develop solid modular products.)

It has an introduction on usual phases for projects development which can
give you a first overview of standard approach in the industry.

UML can also be a very good tool or/and the definitive tool to process every
phases or even generate your actionscript code (Using Enterprise Architect
for example).
You should have a look at the following entries on my blog if you want to
have more information about how UML can help for flash, flex, actionscript:
http://analogdesign.ch/blog/index.php/archive/category/uml/

I am currently preparing several blog entries related to this subject (for
example a review of Enterprise Architect 7.0) so you should stay tuned on
analogdesign's blog ;)

In your toolkit you should also consider (if you're not using it already)
using tigris.org subversion with tortoiseSVN which allows you to manage the
advancement of your projects elegantly and efficiently. (this is really a
time saver and makes you safer as you develop and easier to co-develop
projects).

That's I can think from the top of my head now ;)

Have a nice day.

Best regards.
