David Knape to present “Discovering MVC with the Bumpslide App Template”

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

David Knape will be at Fashion Buddha Friday night to discuss his Bumpslide App Template. The app template is part of his open-source Bumpslide Library and will be used as a launchpad for discussion of the Model-View-Controller pattern for application development. The goal is a relaxed talk where we can discuss the basics of why and how to separate application state from view components while touching upon some more advanced topics including data binding and the command pattern. We’ll also talk about general coding best practices and how the app template relates to some of the other frameworks that are currently floating around the web including PureMVC, Cairngorm, Gaia, and this thing called Flex. Don’t be scared. There will be beer.
