Why would someone use Sprouts?

An interesting conversation has emerged in the comments of a FlexOnRails post. Firstly, I’d like to thank those guys for mentioning us! Secondly, I’d like to apologize for writing such a ridiculously long post in their comments section, it’s kind of embarrassing, but anyone that knows me knows that I can run off at the mouth (or keyboard) like no one else!

For the sake of getting something productive done today, I’m just going to copy and paste the comments in here:

Announcing Sprouts! (was AsProject)

Posted by: Luke Bayes Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:17:00 GMT

I just wanted to get out a quick announcement before too much more time went by….

I introduced AsProject in April and have since been redesigning it under a new, much more manageable project called Sprouts. Just yesterday it reached a point where it’s at least testable on both OS X and Windows (with Cygwin).

I’m looking for some help getting it production ready (check out the issues list) and feature feedback from the community before I go much further.

Please check it out and let me know what you think, what it needs, and what doesn’t work the way you expect.

Introducing AsProject!

Posted by: Luke Bayes Wed, 04 Apr 2007 19:15:00 GMT

UPDATE: The new versions of Sprouts actually pull down and install the Flex SDK automatically!

UPDATE: AsProject has been refactored, renamed and moved, development is ongoing at the new location for “Sprouts”.

UPDATE: Be sure to check out the updated screencasts at http://projectsprouts.org/screencasts.html.

I’m elated to finally announce AsProject!

This is a cross platform, open source ActionScript development tool set that I’ve been working on for the past couple of months.

AsProject automates a variety of tasks including the creation of projects, classes, test cases, test suites, and swfmill libraries. It automates the download, installation and configuration of the debug flash player and many open source tools. AsProject also includes sophisticated build tools written in rake to automate build processes.

If this sounds interesting to you check out the video demo!
