By Nat TorkingtonMarch 8, 2011 Facebook and Open Source -- David Recordon interview. HipHop really embodies how we create at Facebook. It started as a hackathon project by Haiping Zhao, who was later joined by Iain Proctor and Minghui Yang. Haiping noticed a number of similarities between the syntax of PHP and C++, and wondered if you could programmatically rewrite one into another. Two-and-half... Four short links: 4 March 2011
By Nat TorkingtonMarch 4, 2011 JSARToolKit -- Javascript port of the Flash AR Toolkit. I'm intrigued because the iPad2 has rear-facing camera and gyroscopes up the wazoo, and (of course) no Flash.

By Nat TorkingtonMarch 1, 2011 Implementing Open Standards in Open Source (Larry Rosen) -- Companies try to control specifications because they want to control software that implements those specifications. This is often incompatible with the freedom promised by open source principles that allow anyone to create and distribute copies and derivative works without restriction. This article explores ways that are available to compromise that... Hacking or design patterns?By Yakov FainDecember 13, 2010 Earlier this year, I made a statement defending hacking in an interview for Oracle. Yesterday, I found a thread on theserverside.com where java developers were sharing their view on the subject. In this blog I’ll take the same two quotes... A Pragmatic Look at Dependency Injection FrameworksBy Amy BlankenshipOctober 31, 2010 There's been quite a bit of discussion on my team lately about whether we should standardize on a Dependency Injection (DI) Framework, and if so, which one. Many of us who are "plugged in" to the Flex community tend... Pragmatic Design Patterns: Separation of ConcernsBy Amy BlankenshipOctober 12, 2010 Today, I'd like to continue my discussion of pragmatic Design Patterns by talking about Separation of Concerns, or SoC as we often see it abbreviated. I usually like to start with linking to a definition of the concept that... Pragmatic Design Patterns: Abstract ClassesBy Amy BlankenshipSeptember 12, 2010 I remember the first time I read about Abstract Classes in Actionscript 3 Design Patterns. I don't have my copy handy here in Atlanta, so I'll have to rely on the Wikipedia article pointed to by Mims Wright for... Pragmatic Design Patterns: Composition Over InheritanceBy Amy BlankenshipSeptember 2, 2010 Many developers have the idea that design patterns are "nice to haves," something that you can add after the fact, if you have time to waste making your code academically appealing for no added benefit. At some level, I... Thought-provoking Posts from this weekBy Amy BlankenshipAugust 7, 2010 Ever since I've started my new gig, I've found I have less time to keep up with the latest happenings in the business. So when I do take the time to read an article, it is usually because it... An Introduction to Robotlegs AS3 Part 3: ServicesBy Joel HooksJune 28, 2010 This is the third in a series of Robotlegs articles that will appear here on InsideRIA in the coming weeks detailing core Robotlegs concepts and working through some more advanced concepts involving third party utilities and libraries built to interact with them.

Code Behind vs. Template ComponentsBy Amy BlankenshipMay 9, 2010 I think a lot of times we as developers get caught up in our own world, and we forget how all of the things we do to make our code clean and easy to maintain for ourselves and other... Abstract TestsBy Phlip PlumleeMay 4, 2010 My last post showed how to mock a webservice. When you have more than one webservice, all their common code, tests, and mocks should remain DRY. This post demonstrates a ruthlessly effective test pattern that forces many different interfaces to behave as similarly as possible, using the minimum possible test code. Ah, BitmapDataBy Amy BlankenshipFebruary 28, 2010 Sometimes when we are working in Flash or Flex, we need to work with the raw pixels of an object on screen. Maybe we want to create a lightweight component to pull in photos off the web, make intelligently scaled... Architectural Patterns
By Rick JelliffeFebruary 15, 2010 Uwe Zdun and Paris Avgeriou's paper "Architectural Patterns Revisited - A Pattern Language" Software patterns as a symptom of failure? - If you have to use them, maybe your programming language is just not powerful enough?
By Rick JelliffeFebruary 15, 2010 The most interesting comment I have read recently about the pattern language movement is the comment that Gang of Four style software patterns are only necessary when the programming system does not have adequate power or capabilities to directly state the pattern. Review of AS 3 Design Patterns On The iPhone
By Jesse FreemanDecember 30, 2009 Advanced Flash Tactics or AFTs are techniques that come from deep within the Flash Art Of War, the oldest Flash military treatise in the world. In this AFT I will go over - As3 Design Patterns On The iPhone.... Can Event Performance be improved in AS3?By Amy BlankenshipDecember 20, 2009 I came back from RIAdventure all stoked with new ideas to research and nail down in my own mind. One of the ideas I thought I heard there was the thought that you could probably improve performance by using Object... "Eager Loading" in Actionscript 3By Amy BlankenshipNovember 11, 2009 Last week, I wrote about the Lazy Loading design pattern. There's not much written about its opposite, Eager Loading, in ActionScript 3. The reason for this is simple–true eager loading can't be done in AS3 itself, it has to be... Advantages of Lazy LoadingBy Amy BlankenshipOctober 30, 2009 Wikipedia defines Lazy Loading as "a design pattern commonly used in computer programming to defer initialization of an object until the point at which it is needed." Typically, we do this to make an RIA application more responsive–since we're not... Interfaces and Dynamic Class InstantiationBy Amy BlankenshipOctober 27, 2009 I always enjoy Jesse Freeman's Flash Art of War column, and this week's, "Dynamically Creating(/Instantiating) Classes from XML," was especially intriguing. The thing that stuck out to me about that post is that if you are creating objects dymanically, you... Decorator Design PatternBy Sean MooreOctober 21, 2009 The goal of this article is to help you gain a better understanding of the Decorator design pattern. The Decorator pattern is used to attach additional responsibilities to an object at run time dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing to extend the functionality of classes in a hierarchical relationship. The Decorator design pattern utilizes an important OOP concept known as the open closed principal. This means that classes are open to extension but closed for modification. The Decorator pattern also uses the concept of composition, another very powerful OOP concept. 3 Design Patterns Built Into AS 3
By Jesse FreemanAugust 10, 2009 Advance Flash Tactics or AFTs are techniques that come from deep within the Flash Art Of War, the oldest Flash military treatise in the world. Each AFT is designed to be quickly digested, usually only taking a few minutes to get up and running, and contains valuable information you can directly apply to your next Flash campaign. In this AFT I will go over - 3 Design Patterns Built Into AS 3 Four short links: 12 June 2009

Silverlight for Business Applications
By John PapaMarch 1, 2009 Good design is important in any business application. With Silverlight there are tools and techniques that can help improve the design and make an application more testable, modular and scalable. Design patterns for public activism 
By Andy OramDecember 30, 2008 Programmers know the impact that design patterns have had on designing and coding. Could patterns have just as strong an impact on people taking action in their communities? That's the thrust of the patterns published at the Public Sphere Project. The most fleshed-out patters are now published in the book Liberating Voices! A Pattern Language for Communication Revolution by the initiator of the project, Douglas Schuler. XRX and Context Delivery ArchitectureBy Dan McCrearyNovember 6, 2008 What if your web applications could all be quickly customized based on needs of a specific person, role or group? What if you could start out with one general form but it could be easly customized for different roles, groups or class of users? We call these forms CoDA (for Context Delivery Architecture) forms because they can take advantage of the context aware features of the XRX architecture. Content Routing in XRXBy Dan McCrearyNovember 2, 2008 In the past I used to think that the internet routers and database management systems were separate systems and didn't share many of the same design patters. Routers routed information to different locations based on the content of the data... MVC As Anti-PatternBy Brian LesserOctober 11, 2008 Recently I asked a group of developers to review how they build Web applications. With over 100 ColdFusion applications/sites in place, I wanted to see what we could do to reduce the cost of adding new applications and new features... Handy Mockup Tool for RIAs
By Andre CharlandJuly 30, 2008 I've been involved in web development for about 12 years now and have always been involved in the early stages and client facing aspects of the development cycle. More often than not I turned to very low-fi methods of sketching the early versions of a UI such as paper, whiteboard or Powerpoint. None of these are ideal and the early agreed upon designs seem to get lost along the way. Also it's hard to make changes to non digital mockups. Recently I've been playing around with with Balsamiq Mockups which seems to be a great quick and dirty design tool for developers, designers and those who aren't tech savvy at all. Web 2.0 pattern mining at TOOLS 2008 in Zurich this summerBy Christian CrumlishApril 3, 2008 If you're interested in design patterns for rich interactions or web 2.0 design patterns in general, and you can get yourself to Switzerland this summer, then you might want to submit a proposal for the pattern-mining workshop at TOOLS 2008 Europe. A Sense Of Scale
By Harold DavisJanuary 14, 2008 When a photo is about pattern, the thrill of composition can come from a dissonance in size. Is the subject big or small? What is the sense of scale? In these kinds of photos, that which seems to be big is actually small, or that which appears to be small is actually big. The viewer gets a thrill when the... 1 to 38 of 38 Stay Connected
