I’ve got a couple of posts but I want to break them up for organizational purposes.

I installed SynergyFLEX by Scott Barnes on my Flex server here at home tonight. I didn’t get a chance to play with it a lot because I got sidetracked on a Flex/Flash Communication Server problem that I’ll post about in a minute.

As I get more into Flex, and become a more mature programmer I’m starting to realize the value of frameworks. We don’t use any kind of framework for our projects at work and to be honest, I don’t know enough about them to be able to push for implementing them if I wanted to. The two frameworks I am most familiar with are MachII and FuseBox. Both are very OO heavy, and both look interesting. When I get back from Germany I’m planning to install MachII on my ColdFusion server. SynergyFLEX is an application framework for Flex that is loosely based on Mach II.

I won’t get to experiment with it this week much, but when I’m back from Germany after the MachII install I want to dig in a little deeper. I want to use it for the Stock Charting/Tracking app that I’m writing because I think it may make some of the programming go faster and allow me to focus on the interesting coding problems instead of the tedious ones.
