CluedUp is a popular subscription-based site for the Telegraph Newspaper. A skinned Flex 3 application that implements AMF remote data services, advanced skinning and modules.
This was a project I worked during my role as Lead Flex Developer for London agency World Archipelago.
We launched the Crosswords and Sudoko site CluedUp for the Daily Telegraph in the last quarter of 2008 – I built the Flex Crosswords and Sudoku Applications/Modules. Behind the scenes it’s one of my best structured projects to date and uses the following technologies/approaches:
- Adobe Flex 3
- PureMVC MutliCore (Pipes)
- AMFPHP Remoting (for loading, saving and submitting user crossword data)
