Brian Rinaldi wrote a great introductory article about Mate. He has created an example to show how you can build an application with Mate. The code is available for download and you can read the whole article here.
Our next meeting will feature Laura Arguello from AsFusion talking about the Mate Framework, so if you want to try out the framework before hand, this is a great tutorial. The meeting will be on July 1st at 6pm. It will be held at the Art Institute’s North Building.

Sean Moore (aka Sean the Flex Guy and regular attendee), has a new article on O’Reilly’s InsideRIA site on ActionScript 3.0 and Flex optimization techniques and practices. This is a great companion piece to the presentation he gave a few months back.

Grant Skinner has just released a beta of a performance testing suite. You can easily use it to quickly test a couple of functions on the timeline, or you can build a full set of performance testing suites to support a project under development, similar to unit testing.
Even test suites are super simple. Point it at an instance of a class, and it will test all the public methods on it. Or, use properties or parameters to formalize the tests with names, descriptions, and specific method lists.
You can even use PerformanceTest to test the render time for complex vectors or filters.

A really great application with over 200 live samples of Flex components, APIs and coding techniques with source code. This is a great way to get a fast start working with some all the standard flex components, as well as some of the common custom API’s including Facebook, AIM, and Google. There’s also a desktop version available as an AIR app, that promises even more examples to explore. Check it out at the link below:
