Task Breakdown for Day 1

Posted on | October 27, 2009 | 1 Comment

In the previous post, I laid out the plan for Day 1. It listed some overarching goals that I have for the training day, i.e. to get you hired or excel at your new Flex job.

Some of you are excited, but want a little more meat.  That’s understandable, since traditional training seems to be a focused on the Flex Skills, but not the other stuff you need to succeed.

Here’s why 360|Flexpress is going to be different than a traditional training program.  I will be writing my own curriculum and exercises for you all to go through.  The list below is my table of contents for the day.

Over this week, I’ll go into more details on each section to give you a better idea of which each entails.  As you can see though, it’s going to be a great learning experience.

Thinking Through Your App Before You Code:

Beginning Your Application:

• Laying Out Code Packages (i.e. Directories)
• Creating DataObjects/ValueObjects
• Creating Components
• Putting Components Together to Create Screens
• Component Communication Via Events

In The Zone:

• Communicating with the Outside World
• Something’s Wrong, Debug It
• Redesign Time, Moving Code
• Commenting to Help Others (and Yourself)
• Keep the Code Simple, Don’t be a Hotshot

Wrapping Up

• Skinning Your App
• Adding Animation Effects
• Refactor Out Unneeded Code

If  any of the above topics sound like something you need to learn, get on it. Tickets are flying fast and we’ve only planned for roughly 100. Register now for a mere $149 to get in on what’s sure to be a great learning experience for all.
