Peter Hall speaking at WebDU
Next month, Peter will be presenting at the WebDU conference in Sydney, Australia. This will be the first public outing for the Slide application framework for Flex, that Memorphic has been using in-house to develop most of our projects for over a year. We’ve had a lot of success with it, but it will be interesting to see how the wider development community reacts to it.
We’ve recently been asked about if Slide is intended to be a “Cairngorm-killer” (Cairngorm being the principal Flex application framework promoted by Adobe.) It’s unlike that Slide will usurp Cairngorm. We use Slide together with a set of programming conventions that give us a consistent structure between all projects, but there is no reason why developers won’t be able to go on and take advantage of the benefits of both Slide and Cairngorm at the same time. One of our goals in the next few months is to show an open-source sample application that shows this.
