Salesbuilder Flex AIR application(source added)

http://coenraets.org/blog/2007/07/new-version-of-salesbuilder-flex-air-application/
I spent some time improving the Salesbuilder Flex / AIR demo application I posted a couple of weeks ago. This version is a lot more complete and polished than the initial incarnation of the application.

Salesbuilder is a Sales Force Automation application that demonstrates local persistence using the embedded SQLite database, data synchronization, native drag-and-drop, and other features such as direct chart manipulation.

First, I got help from our Experience Design team (special thanks to Ethan Eismann): this is still work in progress, but the design has already been improved significantly.

I also added a number of new features. For example, you can now create and edit sales opportunities, use the menu bar buttons to access summary screens, etc. One interesting new feature is the direct manipulation options available in the Sales Pipeline bubble chart, and in particular the way data visualization turns into data manipulation/data entry: drag bubbles up, down, left or right to adjust the probability and the expected closing date. The new values are automatically saved to the database.

Click here to install the application.

Follow this guided tour to make sure you don’t miss any new feature.

Salesbuilder source code available

As promised, here is the source code for the Salesbuilder Flex / Air sample application:

salesbuilder_src.zip (version 0.71)

Disclaimer: This is work in progress and some code still needs to be polished and documented. I’m planning on continuing to develop the application, starting with complete server integration and synchronization. Your feedback and ideas are welcome.

I also took the opportunity to fix a few bugs. You can install the latest version of the app (corresponding to the source code posted above) here:
