Practical Design Patterns for ActionScript 3.0 (19:00 – 20:00) – Eamonn Faherty
Decorator; reactor; model view controller; model view presenter; model view little c; template; and reactor. These are just a few of the standard design patterns. There are hundreds out there and it is easy to feel a little lost. I hope to explain some of these patterns and their uses, along with their benefits and cost of use.

But why? Design patterns are not just for job interviews and university students. Design patterns are reusable problem solvers for sharing code. They are standard approaches to common problems which will, hopefully, get your team on the same page quickly!

Once you start using design patterns you will understand frameworks better, work faster and will be sharing more code between projects!

Application Frameworks: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly (20:15 – 21:15) – Richard Lord
With so many application frameworks available which should you choose? Cairngorm? PureMVC? Mate? Swiz? Or should you roll your own? Which frameworks require you to write the most code? Which provide the easiest refactoring? Which features make frameworks flexible and which make them brittle? Which make them easy to use and which make them hard?

If you’re interested in architecture, frameworks, or design patterns, this session will be of interest to you. If you need to choose a framework for a project, or you want to know more about the framework you are using, this session will be essential viewing.
