Frameworks for developing Flash Web-Sites

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I’ve been looking for frameworks in order develop flash-based web sites for a long time. I haven’t checked any of these frameworks yet. Because, it takes a lot of time to get into a new programming environment for me. Also, when I’m working on a commercial project, I don’t want to waste my time with new classes, methods and etc.. to develop web based appilcation. Because, your customers don’t care about how the background of their web sites are created. They just want to see final result quickly :)

Anyway, For a long time, I’ve been coding with Flex and don’t want to use Flash hereafter. In my opinion, Flash can’t be a framework for coding action script language. I mean, I can’t imagine a framework that has no suggestion option while I’m coding an application. So, I searched for some frameworks which can be used without Flash. At this point, I encountered with PureMVC framwork. But there are no tutorial about how to use it in Flex…I googled some tutorials about PureMVC and here they are;

And there is an other Flash framework which called Gaia. The only disadvantage for me is, you can only use Gaia with Flash. But, Gaia has some tutorials about how to setup and work with it in their web-site.

Xenakis : His Life in Music by James Harley

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

“Although Xenakis was fighting against the succession of authorities in power, and was thus acting “outside” the law, this must also be seen as the period during which Xenakis was most closely involved in collective activity. Certainly this experience was crucial in shaping the aesthetic of the composer that was to come.”
