Introducing ASTRID

I've been working my butt for months and months trying to get a new open-source framework out the door called ASTRID. The base framework and some test were launched a few weeks ago but just finished the first demo up earlier today and it's about time I start telling people what it is all about.

To help out the cause I've updated my companies website and created many pages on the base framework and the other sub projects of the framework like Object a full dynamic templating language, Assets an asset management library for sending and loading all types of files, and the multiple renderers including an updated version of HTMLWrapper and a new tiny HTML/CSS renderer called MiniHTML.

As you can see, I have been busy. There is a lot of code here and a lot of ideas behind it. I'm doing my best to create something that eases the development of every ActionScript project. I'll be creating a Flex based demo next for all of those Flash Builder people out there but not sure yet about what to make. If you have time to try out ASTRID I would love to hear your thoughts on the framework. I still have a long list of things I would like to complete but I'm pretty happy with what ASTRID has going for it now.
