Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst: The New Workflow
Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst: The New Workflow
简介 Book Description:
The Flash Platform is changing. Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst have brought a new separation of design and coding to web development that enables a much more efficient and streamlined workflow. For designers and developers used to the close confines of Flash, this is a hugely liberating but at first alien concept. This book teaches you the new workflow for the Flash platform. It gives an overview of the technologies involved and provides you with real-world project examples and best-practice guidelines to get from design to implementation with the tools at hand.
* Includes many examples
* Focuses on real-world situations
* Covers designer and developer workflow
What you’ll learn
* Use the new workflow from design to implementation.
* Learn best practices for Flex development.
* Determine the right tools for the job.
* Gain basic knowledge of Flash Catalyst.
* Gain basic knowledge of Flash Builder 4.
Who this book is for
This book is intended for people that want to understand how design and development are brought closer together with Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder 4. Although it can be quite helpful to already have some basic knowledge of Flex, the book will provide you with an overview of the main features and lots of coding examples that are explained in detail.

Rob Bateman is a web developer and community leader who has been
involved in programming for over ten years. He specializes in content for the
Flash platform and has always held a particular interest in 3D on the Web. In
2007, he cofounded the Away3D engine with Alexander Zadorozhny and has
been leading the development of core features for the last two years.
Rob lives and works in London, UK where his production and consultancy
company Away Media Ltd. provides expert services in the field of browserbased
3D content. A regular speaker on the international conference circuit, he
is an active member of the Flash community and hosts frequent training
programs teaching Away3D to web designers and developers.
His blog at www.infiniteturtles.co.uk provides further examples and musing on 3D in Flash, as well as
information on upcoming appearances, training courses, and new Away3D releases.
Richard Olsson is a Swedish freelance Flash developer based in the city of
Malmö and has been a member of the core Away3D development team since
the end of 2008. He found his interest in programming at the early age of 12,
writing BASIC on an old Commodore 64 that was passed on to him from a
relative who wanted something more modern. After a short detour to 3D
graphics, thinking he wanted to be a 3D modeler, he went back to
programming, exploring C/C++ and OpenGL before ending up working with the
Flash platform.
Richard is commissioned by several advertising agencies across Europe to
assist with Flash 3D application development and has worked with some of the
world’s largest brands. He is also a frequent Flash instructor and a contributor
