Since the beginning of my career I’ve experienced that the best way to learn a new technology is to first go thru some of the tutorials and documentation. Then apply the little knowledge you have gathered and build something – maximum learning happens on the job.
So, I’ve built this little web app using Flex, PHP, and MySQL. It’s is a community building app for environmentally conscious people. I’ve also implemented the Cairngorm framework here. Using a MVC framework in your Flex app has a lot of advantage. It separates the 3 layers – model, GUI, and business logic and helps streamline the development process. Saves a lot of time in the long run and reduces margin of error.
