Robotlegs is a standout among the ActionScript 3 development frameworks available today. With it, Flash, Flex, and AIR developers can create well-architected, testable, and flexible Rich Internet Applications--"fast." This concise guide shows you how the light footprint and focused scope of this open source framework not only solves your immediate coding problems, it helps you gain insight into AS3 architecture on a much deeper level.

The authors provide a walkthrough of specific features in two applications they've written in Robotlegs, complete with code for each application as a whole. You'll learn how to achieve a balance of flexibility and consistency in your own projects.Solve 80% of your coding problems with 20% of the API Gain code-base flexibility with automated Dependency Injection Learn the anatomy of a Robotlegs application Understand the relationships between models, services, control code, and views in the framework's MVCS architecture See how the Robotlegs' approach facilitates Test Driven Development (TDD) Pick up practical methods for architecting Robotlegs solutions Get expert insights to power-up your existing Robotlegs code

Having trouble with geometry? Do Pi, The Pythagorean Theorem, and angle calculations just make your head spin? Relax. With Head First 2D Geometry, you'll master everything from triangles, quads and polygons to the time-saving secrets of similar and congruent angles -- and it'll be quick, painless, and fun.
Through entertaining stories and practical examples from the world around you, this book takes you beyond boring problems. You'll actually "use" what you learn to make real-life decisions, like using angles and parallel lines to crack a mysterious CSI case. Put geometry to work for you, and nail your class exams along the way.
We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, "Head First 2D Geometry" uses a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.
