Challenge
Program a Flash recipe site populated by XML and adaptable to a range of content
Comments
The main challenge was to make all data-presentation layouts responsive and robust enough to handle unanticipated content lengths, punctuation styles and special characters
Actions
- Sevice tier loaded the XML data
- Conversion tier parsed the XML data into AS3 model objects
- Helper classes stroked the data, performed case-correction, catching illegal characters and coercing number values into digits or text
- View helpers built layouts from the data, using business rules to maintain compositional integrity across dissimilar data
