Thanks for your post. There is far more documentation for the original AS3 incarnation of PureMVC than any other port, this is true. Specific tutorials and docs for other platforms is an area of the project where we could use contribution.

I have tried to write the primary documentation from a perspective that minimizes the importance of the language/platform and focuses on the roles, responsibilities and collaborations of the framework actors.

I know that this isn’t as good as having a specific Best Practices doc for Python, but I do know that it can still be effective to a Python developer.

In writing these documents, I took a queue from the Gang of Four Design Patterns book. It is replete with SmallTalk 80 examples, which I do not understand, but I can still grok the pattern well enough to implement it in my own language. In fact, that the actors are built on these design patterns is what allows it to be abstract enough to port.

Just as the Best Practices doc has been translated to german, french and chinese, it’d be nice to see someone offer to translate it to Java, Python and PHP…

I came across ur blog a week bck & found valuable info reg the TikeSwing Project , I have been devloping on swing for last 2-3 yrs and have tried architecting the app in diff ways .. I feel that HMVC design really helps in loose coupling between various parts of the apps …especialy for large ones.

I have been trying flex of late and found it very similar to swing .. and hence the problems of design are similar,but data binding in flex alleviates some of it ….i am looking forward to ur future posts on some real world app using pure mvc .
