PureMVC – A Lightweight Open Source Framework for Flash

Monday, February 1st, 2010

I was looking around on the internet and come across the PureMVC website and was pretty impressed. PureMVC is a lightweight framework for creating applications based upon the classic Model, View and Controller concept. This concept is an architectural pattern used in coding that isolates the application logic for the user from the GUI, allowing development to come from different places “permitting independent development, testing and maintenance of each”.  PureMVC is open source and was originally implemented in the ActionScript 3 language for use with Adobe Flex, Flash and AIR, is now being ported to all major development platforms. I have taken a very quick look at it but it seems very cool. An example of this in use is the T-mobile website, which has a very cool flash GUI on the front page, take a look and see what I mean. The picture above is taken from the PureMVC website.
