Yesterday I found myself in dire need of a value object for something Flex I’m working on but was feeling too lazy to type it out. I decided to hit Google before writing out the class by hand. I hit this gem for blasting out quick ‘n easy value objects in AS3. Just throw down your list of properties and go!

Thanks Mark Knol, I love saving time and typing!
I’m taking an OOP in ColdFusion class taught by Dan Wilson and I recently found out about his increased involvement with the Model-Glue framework. Increased involvement may be a bit of an understatement but that isn’t the point.
I’ve built and maintained several FuseBox applications and it saves a lot of guesswork and headache when used correctly. I like FuseBox and all but I have found myself thirsty for another option. Dan mentioned to me that the next version of Model Glue needed some help in the documentation department. Opportunity! What better way to learn something than to be in on writing the instructions??
…time passes…
Some weeks later I’ve crash coursed myself through the Model Glue 2 docs and written a couple of small and useless apps on my own. I am now highly qualified to idiot test the documentation as it gets written. Fun stuff!
Model Glue 3 does some major time saving, I’m looking forward to building something large scale with it as soon as the opportunity arises. I haven’t even glued my fingers together yet!
Keep an eye out for the Model Glue 3: Gestures release coming soon!
