Salesbuilder Beta 3 (AIR file + Flex Source Code)

A number of you asked me for the beta 3 version of Salesbuilder. So here it is. I also took the opportunity to clean up the code, and improve a few things. The application is now using synchronous access to the local SQLite database (as opposed to the asynchronous data access strategy of the previous version). I also introduced a simple Data Access Object (DAO) abstraction (see the BaseDAO.as class) to make the DAOs a lot easier to write, read, and maintain. This is a nice improvement compared to the very verbose DAOs used in the previous version. I might move to the annotation-based ORM approach introduced here in a future version. Finally, the “lazy loading” strategy has been improved as well and does a better job at retrieving data as needed by the application.

Salesbuilder is a Sales Force Automation application written in Flex and deployed on the AIR runtime. It demonstrates local persistence using the embedded SQLite database, data synchronization, native drag-and-drop, and other features such as direct chart manipulation.

    Great stuff!
    I love the use of the TabNavigator.
    Does anyone know if you can open a tab from the TavNavigator from a canvas displayed as a tab itself?

    Example: Open Tab from TabNavigator, resulting in a new tab containing a canvas. From this canvas, open up a different tab (i.e. to create a new “task”).

    Thank you!
