Title: How bad is to have custom framework or modified version of existing? Post by: Leksey on February 20, 2009, 11:12:31 Hello.
I am working as Flex developer for a year. Before now I was alone responsible for front-side implementation in Flex. And for development I used my own framework, that is combination of features,ideas and practicies from different frameworks and articles. Now I have invintation to participate in large team project, which will be developed in PureMVC. And now thinking how other developers will feel if they will need to continue my previous projects. Have anyone any ideas on this? Thanks, leksey Title: Re: How bad is to have custom framework or modified version of existing?

One of the big benefits in a common framework like PureMVC is that as more people learn it, the more likely new team members will be to hit the ground running without having to stop to figure out the basic architecture. It handles the separation well enough that you can generally get by without needing to modify, document and train team members on a custom version, though you certainly can. Unless you find the basic premise flawed, changes you might be inclined to make to the framework itself for want of a feature is often best expressed as a utility designed to augment the framework with complimentary patterns, such as the recent additions of AsyncCommand and StateMachine. -=Cliff> |
