VEsession – Flex photography studio management and client ordering application

My wife saw the application that I am working on at work to manage tasks and immediately asked, "Where's mine?"

21st century honey-do list.

So far, this is what I have created. PureMVC is the underlying framework. The photos are loaded from SlideShowPro Director XML galleries. Unforutately, the most recent version of SSP-D won't let you use it as a service in this way. This older version is has all the functionality I need though, so it isn't an issue. Eventually I will implement functionality to eliminate the need for SSP-D with some gallery management. It will be better to keep it all under one roof.

The backend is Django using pyAMF for communications back and forth. Django elminates the pain of CRUD operations and provides an excellent admin interface for free.

My goal is to open source the application and provide it as a PureMVC/Django example.

UPDATED: This version is a little jacked because I am working on a new version. The demo images are way too big and cause the application to scroll in unsightly ways. The new demo is located here, and uses the same credentials as below.

[Here is the demo]
user: demo_client
pass:demo_client

Do to some, uh, laziness on my part, this will only compile with strict mode turned off The new version does not have this problem.
