Robotlegs MVCS: Walkthrough of an AIR Twitter Client

rl_twit_ss

Here is the “completed” project on Github.

This is a roughly 25 minute walkthrough of wiring together a Twitter client using the Robotlegs AS3 Micro-Architecture MVCS implementation. It covers setting up the context, using commands, mediating composite view component, granular view component mediation, and retrieving data from a service.

Apologies in advance for the ambient noise. 4 kids, 2 dogs, and a busy wife does not make the perfect sound booth ;)

I am considering expanding on this example and creating a start to finish video series creating a full Twitter client with Robotlegs. This would cover the actual component building, wiring everything together, working with data models (local storage, etc), and refining the application to use the advanced features available with the Twitter API using TDD the whole time for development. Is this something that you’d be interested in?

    Yes please! With so few start to finish application examples using any AS3 Frameworks, RobotLegs is bound to win a lot of newcomer and intermediate support
  • Building a new app from scratch and giving RobotLegs a try. Looks easy and ver symplified with the injection path. Nice screencast, also hopes you build the TDD part asap

    Joel,

    Amazing job and great screen cast! Absolutely needed for those who start working with the framework. Can't wait to see the complete example.

    Thanks.
