Session Detail

To be discussed will be the overall concept of continuous integration, detailing the overwhelming benefits (and challenges) of employing a continuous integration strategy into your Flash Platform development paradigm, which transcends the build process into a science, rather than a black art. We will also cover concrete approaches to implementing continuous integration. Specifically, best practices for developing rich internet applications on the Flash Platform, with an emphasis on Flex/AIR development. Some of these concepts include: PureMVC integration, generating documentation, setting up project dependencies, integrated unit testing with FlexUnit, and elegant deployment - all autonomously.
