Sanders Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:09:35 +0000 http://www.as3dp.com/?p=1290#comment-2805 Hi T, I have it out a lot too! What it does better than any other book is to show in detail WHY a certain design pattern or principle is used. The style of this blog and our own <em>ActionScript 3.0 Design Patterns</em> book owes a great deal to the Freemans' lead. I have the follow-up application completed, and now I'm working on the write-up. The Freemans really set a high bar. (gulp!) Kindest regards, Bill Hi T,

Years ago I spoke at Heidelberg University in Germany and enjoyed the German students' a great deal and would be glad to speak there again. (I'll show you my dueling scar from Heidelberg!) Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Bill Hi Mark,

I'm now working on the next post, and it's turning out to be more work than I bargained for! Anyhow, Chandima and I are delighted to hear that our efforts are helping out developers.

Do you consider it possible that you speak on a german conference someday? www.flashforum.de does a conference every year and your stuff would perfectly fit.

Sanders Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:40:29 +0000 http://www.as3dp.com/?p=1290#comment-2790 Ayee Chihuahua Mark! Those are great ideas, and I have to admit that I got sort of carried away myself when I started re-wiring the project. However, rather than creating an entire system as you suggest (and not a bad system at that!) I'm going to provide something simpler that will solve certain problems and focus on a single organizational unit. However, Chandima and I always encourage our readers to go ahead and carry out suggested designs. Kindest regards, Bill Ayee Chihuahua Mark!
