Hidden Fractalist Interview - Esherymack
Hello to everyone reading this journal! Before we move on to the interview itself, some of you may ask yourselves questions such as, ‘What is fractal art?’ or ‘Who are ‘fractalists’?’ Let me provide you with a very brief introduction. According to the Oxford Dictionary, fractal is a curve or geometrical figure in which each part shares the same statistical characteristics as the whole. These structures can be found throughout nature, including in plants, minerals, and even in different states of matter such as gas (smoke), liquid (waves), or solid (snowflakes).

If you would like to know a little bit more, I recommend these brief, yet informative journals by C-91 and tatasz. Finally, welcome to the latest issue of a project called Hidden Fractalist, led by me, @LukasFractalizator. I initiated

I've been building apps since the first beta of Flex 1.0 and most of the time people seem to pick Cairngorm or some variant of it for their apps. We're currently using a lot of the concepts from PureMVC in our refactoring effort for a large Cairngorm app. Dropping a new framework into an existing app (especially a large one) can be a non-trivial task. We've opted for a more incremental approach to updating our app framework. The only downside to this is that we end up with a custom framework.
The primary reason for the change was an attempt to eliminate some of the boilerplate code that Cairngorm requires. This wasn't necessarily a problem f
the past couple of months have been very interesting as I've been ramping up on the new Flex technology. I'm spending more time these days working with ActionScript 2.0, which has been a lot of fun. I'm also just starting to dig into the Flash MX 2004 Pro development environment, especially now that 7.2 has been released. Looking forward to building my first simple Flash website once I get thru some of the books I'm reading. That's it for now...
