    • 1. Robotlegs is a lightweight framework for ActionScript 3
      • What does Robotlegs actually do?
        • Robotlegs is a communication-and-cooperation framework
          • Direct conversation
          • Passing messages
          • Robotlegs helps with direct conversations and message passing
        • Robotlegs makes use of three object-oriented architectural patterns
      • Do you need a framework at all?
        • Reasons to use a framework
          • Consistency
          • Common understanding brings easier collaboration
          • Peer-reviewed solutions
          • A well-tested skeleton
          • Less code to write
        • Reasons not to use a framework
          • Framework learning curve
          • Terminology confusion
          • Performance tradeoffs
          • Framework coupling
          • Black box code is hard to debug
        • Robotlegs aims to amp up the pros and minimize the cons
      • Less boilerplate code is a good thing...
    • 2. The Robotlegs dream...
      • 80% of the problems can be solved with 20% of the API
      • Coding for Robotlegs shouldnt tie you to the framework
      • Robotlegs aims to enable and not dictate
      • Most AS3 applications benefit from the MVCS approach
      • Testing, testing! (We test, and we make it easy for you to test)
      • Some final things every Robotlegs cadet should know
    • 3. Anatomy of a Robotlegs application
      • Joels Personal Kanban
      • Lindzs Mosaic Design Tool
      • How a Robotlegs application gets things done
        • Architecture begins with Events and Commands
      • Getting to grips with Robotlegs architecture
        • The context is the heart of your Robotlegs application
        • Your models and services are Actors in your app
        • The MediatorMap provides a way to join your views to your app layer
        • Robotlegs mediators are bridges, not view controllers
        • The CommandMap makes things happen
        • The shared event dispatcher joins everything together
          • ... and it goes a little something like this (event flow)
      • User stories as implemented in Robotlegs
        • Personal Kanban example: Moving a task from backlog to doing
        • Mosaic Design Tool example: Saving a design
        • The same but different
      • All of this is possible because of the Robotlegs Injector
    • 4. Automated Dependency Injection
      • So, what exactly is Automated Dependency Injection?
        • A dependency is just a requirement to use another object
        • You can fulfil a dependency in three different ways
      • You already use Dependency Injection
      • There are different ways to inject dependencies
        • Statics and globals make code rigid, brittle, hard to test, and prone to memory leaks
        • Locator patterns push extra responsibilities on your classes
      • Automated DI gets around the need to pass the parcel, but keeps code flexible
      • How does Robotlegs Injection work?
        • Automated DI is a handshake
          • You can specify an injection point in three ways
          • And you also have to tell the injector what you would like it to do
        • Robotlegs has different types of injection
          • If you only want one instance, use mapSingleton
          • mapSingletonOf keeps your code coupled only to interfaces
          • What if my class has to be created elsewhere? (e.g. a factory)
          • Named rules let you create multiple rules for each class (but theyre icky)
        • You need to tell the compiler to include the injection metadata
          • FlashBuilder/FlexBuilder solution
          • Flash CS4/CS5 IDE Solution
          • IntelliJ Solution
          • Flex SDK Solutioncommand line compiling
          • Flex SDK Solutioncompiling with ant
        • Automated Injection Gotchas
          • If an object has an [Inject]ed dependency you have to create it using the Injector.
          • You can map injection rules at runtime, but beware of race conditions.
          • The injection point and rule have to be of exactly the same type
          • If you override a method that has an [Inject] tag, you need to add it in the subclass
    • 5. The Robotlegs context in action
      • Provide the context with a root-view
      • Ask it to run startup()immediately or when youre ready
      • Use startup() to provide your injection rules, map your mediators to views and commands to events
      • Shutting down a Context
      • Now you have some Context
    • 6. The CommandMap in action
      • A Command is a concise single-purpose controller object
      • Commands are triggered by events
      • Commands can be any class with an execute method
      • Commands should do their thing and then die
      • Commands rely on their injections to be useful
        • You can inject the event that triggered the command
      • Commands know about the injector, command map, mediator map and context view
      • Commands can also dispatch events
      • Great command names pay dividends
      • Use helper classes for shared logic
      • Detain and release when you need your command to hang around
    • 7. Models and services: How are they different?
      • Models and Services usually extend Actor
      • They dont listen, they only talk
      • Use your API through a Command
      • Distinguishing Models from Services
      • Classes that dont dispatch events to the shared event dispatcher dont need to extend Actor
      • Configuring services
        • Configuring services using a command
        • Configuring services by injecting the configuration
      • Working with non-Actor models and services (including third party code)
        • Wrap them in an Actor
        • Use the command that acts upon them to dispatch the events
      • Model design tips for Robotlegs
        • Keep those responsibilities separated
        • Use strong-typed wrappers for collections
        • Never create mutually dependent models
      • Managing the relationships between models and services
    • 8. Connecting views with Mediators
      • Introducing the MediatorMap
        • Wiring views with the MediatorMap
      • Mediating your view components
        • Mediators are created when your view hits the stage
        • Mediator Structure
        • Avoid logic in your Mediators
        • Do your wiring in onRegister()
        • Using the EventMap
          • Use the eventClass parameter to make mappings that are type safe
        • You can do manual clean-up in onRemove
      • Why cant Mediators be injected into other objects?
      • Working with complex composite views
      • Using the same mediator with more than one view
      • A good Mediator is just a mailman
        • Signs that you need another mediator
        • Never put view logic into the mediator.
    • 9. Working with Robotlegs: Rich Examples
      • Feature implementation walk-through: Mosaic Tool
        • Challenge 1: Keeping things on a need-to-know basis
        • Challenge 2: Keeping the view snappy
        • Keeping the models in line with the visual design
          • The crucial Robotlegs mappings that tie it all together
          • The tile color update again, but this time with code
      • Feature implementation walk-through: Personal Kanban App
        • How new tasks are entered
          • The crucial Robotlegs mappings that make this sequence work
          • Adding a new task again, but this time with code
      • Wait, I want more examples!
    • 10. Testing your Robotlegs application
      • Your test provides the injections
      • Testing models
      • Testing services
      • Testing commands
      • Testing mediators
        • Testing that an event dispatched by the view results in the correct event being dispatched on the shared event dispatcher
        • Testing that an event received on the shared event dispatcher results in an action on the view
    • 11. Power-ups
      • Bootstraps can break up fat contexts
      • The ContextEvents help keep control
      • Tag methods with [PostConstruct] to run them after injection is complete
      • Use Signals between complex views and their mediators
      • Modular and multiple-context Robotlegs
        • ModuleEventDispatcher and child injectors make it work
      • Extend Robotlegs with utilities and add-ons
      • ViewMapinjection for your views
      • Mediator map performance
    • A. Troubleshooting tips
      • Problem: Injection doesnt occur
        • Broken injection point declaration
        • Metadata is being stripped by the compiler
        • Instantiating an object with injected dependencies using new
        • Injected properties are null in constructor
      • Problem: Things work for a while and then mysteriously stop
      • Problem: Event dispatch does not work as expected
      • Problem: Mediator isnt running onRegister
        • Make mediator mappings from the inside out
      • Problem: Handlers in the mediator are running repeatedly
      • Error: Injector missing rule for X
        • Missing injection mapping
        • Inconsistent injection mapping
      • Warning: Duplicate mapping in the injector
      • Error: Call to a possibly undefined method X
      • Where to get more help
    • B. Swiftsuspenders: The power behind the Robotlegs Injector
      • What does Swiftsuspenders actually do?
      • We think limited metadata is a good thing
