MVC experiment in JS

By krange | Published: September 13, 2011
The past 3 years I’ve been using PureMVC pretty consistently in both my ActionScript and Objective-C projects. I’ve really enjoyed it’s workflow but when looking into the JavaScript port, was not interested in the dependencies required by the different JS ports (mootools, extjs or prototype).

Three20 iOS ad-hoc distribution issues

By krange | Published: November 4, 2010
There are a few important things to remember when deploying an ad-hoc distribution application with the Three20 library to an iDevice.

ANT with JavaScript

By krange | Published: May 20, 2010
Recently at work we had the need to build an application that could both be run over the network and on the local filesystem. Well, this doesn’t work with the Flash security setup as SWF files can only be run on one or the other. Like many other developers, we use ANT to build our [...]

By krange | Published: April 1, 2010
