Born in Essex, United Kingdom and survived a few hair raising moments and learnt digital from the ground up. Ok enough of the pleasantries I have been working in the design field since 1999 from the Falmouth School of Art and onwards to the RCA, and many companies. Ok. less about me and more about what I have seen… Today we are going to cover - SCREENS CONCEPTS - DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - WHY ASSETS LIBRARIES - CODE LIBRARIES - COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR IMPLEMENTATION I know, I know, I know.

  • Zen Flash Gallery Userguide
    Zen Flash Gallery version 1.1 User Guide 0 Contents Starting the Work 2 Publishing the gallery on your website 2 Configuring the Gallery 4 XML File Format 5 Gallery Parameters 6 Localization 8 1 Starting the Work To start working simply paste object’s HTML into your page and setup xml configuration file. You can place configuration file anywhere on your server. Publishing the gallery on your website To ensure smooth operation of a gallery on your website you need to have the following files: 1. SWF-file (GalleryName.swf) – flash gallery file 2. XML-file (gallery.xml) – gallery configuration file 3. HTML-file (GalleryName.html) – this file shows how to paste the gallery code into the HTML-page on your site where you plan to use the gallery. 4. <Images> folder where you should place your images. 5. SWFObject.js – a special JavaScript for the correct display of your gallery. In the gallery distribution file (the downloaded archive) there is already a working example for which you can change the settings as you see fit and upload it to your site. Let’s analyze the gallery publishing procedure step by step: 1. On your computer open the folder where you extracted the gallery distribution file. 2. Copy an image that you want to use in your gallery to <Images> folder (some sample images are saved there already, which you may delete). 3. Set the appearance of your gallery, define the path to the images in your gallery and write the names of the files with your images in the settings file (XML-file).

  • Framework Overview with UML Diagrams
    Framework Overview with UML Diagrams Learn to Build Robust, Scalable and Maintainable Applications using PureMVC Framework Overview This document discusses the classes and interfaces of the PureMVC framework; illustrating their roles, responsibilities and collaborations with simple UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams. The PureMVC framework has a very narrow goal. That is to help you separate your application’s coding concerns into three discrete tiers; Model, View and Controller. In this implementation of the classic MVC design meta-pattern, the application tiers are represented by three Singletons (a class where only one instance may be created). A fourth Singleton, the Façade, simplifies development by providing a single interface for communications throughout the application. The Model caches named references to Proxies, which expose an API for manipulating the Data Model (including data retrieved from remote services). The View primarily caches named references to Mediators, which adapt and steward the View Components that make up the user interface. The Controller maintains named mappings to Command classes, which are stateless, and only created when needed. The Façade initializes and caches the Core actors (Model, View and Controller), and provides a single place to access all of their public methods. AUTHOR: Cliff Hall <[email protected]> LAST MODIFIED: 3/05/2008 Façade and Core The Façade class makes it possible for the Proxies, Mediators and Commands that make up most of our final application to talk to each other in a loosely coupled way, without having to import or work directly with the Core framework actors. When we create a concrete Façade implementation for our application, we are able to use the Core actors ‘out of the box’, incidental to our interaction with the Façade, minimizing the amount of API knowledge the developer needs to have to be successful with the framework.
