PureMVC Architects Lounge

I am working on an application for our photography studio that manages appointments and allows for client proofing and ordering. My 'proof of concept' is done, but I am going to rewrite it using the Multicore PMVC to allow for modules/plugins.

It is n OSS project, link to the Google Code project is on the site as well as a working demo login to the live version that we are using right now.

I've heavily refactored this application. I decided to use the multicore version to facilitate the future additions of modules. I don't actually know what those might be right now, but I figure what the heck. Is there any good reason NOT to use the multicore?

user: demo_client
pass: demo_client

Most of the basic functionality is in place, but I am still working on the Wall Designer portion of the app. I like it a LOT more than the previous 'flexy' version. Here's a mockup of the interface, which has changed slightly, but is still fairly true to the result:

Hi Joel,

Really there is no good reason not to use MultiCore. In fact you'll find unit testing to be much easier and more reliable because you can get a new 'Core' for each test. With the Standard version, you have.to live with the fact that the Singletons are alive throughout the entire test run and so you have to be careful to do cleanup operations after each test that might leave actors around that could affect the next test.

The Standard version will stick around though as a reference for platforms that don't support modular programming. But otherwise, I am recommending MultiCore for new projects.

HI Everyone,

I am quite new to all this, and having read the post I was like to enquire in terms of development whether it be flash website or RIA would it be better to learn and apply the standard version of PureMVC or the MUlti core version.

Also forgive my ignorance here but what are the difference which I presume there are alots and could you provide me with a examples of a simple multi core application

Thanks

As Cliff stated, there is really no reason NOT to use multi-core, as even in an app that will 'never' need additional cores, it doesn't really change anything outside of when you have access to the facade in your actors (which isn't a problem, just a timing issue)

Also, I've updated this application (http://"http://session.visualempathy.com/") quite a bit. I'm rather pleased with how the Wall Designer portion is shaping up.
