Team Mentoring

Futurescale Team Mentoring

As PureMVC continues to grow in popularity, more and more agencies and in-house development teams are standardizing on it as a way of producing maintainable code quickly that everyone on the team understands and that new team members can easily grasp.

Over three years old now, the framework is mature, well documented, and has an active developer community that has ported it to many languages and platforms. PureMVC's functionality is extended with a rational system of À la carte utilities that allow your applications to be as lightweight as possible, since there is no need to include the code for unused functionality.

Working with PureMVC is easy and allows teams to focus on the business of their application. But as with any technology, getting your team 'on the same page' is the challenge. Once you're there, it's smooth sailing.

Often it is not possible for an entire team to drop their daily duties and attend instructor-led training sessions. And, while online training can allow developers to come up to speed on their own time, the element of experienced, relevant feedback is missing.

We believe that there is no better place to learn the PureMVC framework methodology and best practices than from the source. Accordingly, Futurescale is pleased to offer Team Mentoring with the framework architect, Cliff Hall.

Working on-site in your environment to your schedule, Cliff will bring your team up to speed on PureMVC, as they work on their project. Each individual is catered to as they have time during the engagement so that no one misses anything, and the information is delivered at the level and in the manner that individual requires.

Formerly a Certified Adobe Flex Trainer, Cliff will also give advice that is relevant to the nuts and bolts of Adobe Flex, AIR and ActionScript as it relates to building a PureMVC-based Rich Client for the Flash Platform.

If you feel your team could benefit from in situ PureMVC Mentoring, please contact us to get the ball rolling.

Satisfied Clients

"I had the pleasure of having Cliff on my Professional Services engagement for a top-tier national lender, customizing a product that Cliff had helped develop with the Product Engineering group within Dorado.

Cliff is a very skilled engineer who's passionate about the quality of his work and the success of his projects. I'd happily work with him again in any capacity."
