Actionscript 3 Design Patterns
After working in the Flash IDE for a year now, I found myself becoming more and more annoyed with the interface. So after looking around at FDT and Flex Builder I decided to opt for Flex Builder Plug-In for Eclipse.
I don’t hate the Flash IDE, much the opposite but the Scripting interface is in need of an overhaul as discussed by Kevin Shuttle in his post ‘Found and Lost : The Flash IDE‘.
After making the leap I’ve found myself wanting to do things better, more efficient and faster so I started to do some more research and talked to a few friends, design patterns seemed to be the way to go. As usual I start to look at the O’Reilly collection and found ‘Actionscript 3 Design Patters’, and also found it to have an accompanying site as3dp. So I hit amazon and purchased the book.
So far I’ve found it an enjoyable read, wanting to use the methods on new projects. I’ll make further updates as I venture through the book…
