presentation and code of the adobe user group xl (augxl) 2010 online

On the accompanying website for the presentation you can find the demo, the demo source code and a download of the presentation itself, click here to get it.

We also introduced the new DrupalInvokeTask which makes it enormously easy to use all calls to core and custom service call in a sequence of tasks that execute asynchronously. Read up on how to use sequencing with our very powerful sequence package in this earlier blogpost about them.

The demo code of the presentation that you can download gives you an excellent insight in how to use sequencing and the power of it, with some tasks (including the DrupalInvokeTask) of our library.

The job of running a certain sequence of logic where the next task is dependent on the completion of the previous one is a recurring thing in software development. An example of this is an asynchronous queue of which we wrote in an earlier post right here. Sequence management is something that is invented time and time again by lots of developers but there is hardly any good complete sequencing solution out there. We have fixed this by releasing our nl.dpdk.commands.tasks package which features an incredibly powerful solution for managing sequences of virtually anything in actionscript.
