This is a rather long video, but Juergen Hoeller goes into great detail regarding packages. Probably the best resource on designing packages and organizing code bases I've seen.

Code Organization Guidelines for Large Code Bases

Robert C. Martin covers a way to manage expectations regarding project estimation here:

I've worked at agencies which use Flash Doctors Syringe, a Dependency Injection framework. I don't have anything bad to say about Flash Doctors, but I found this to be overkill for the kind of work that was being done. Whether you find yourself in a legitimate situation or not understanding dependency injection will be very important. Martin Fowler has a good article to start with:

Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection pattern

as if I didn't have enough to do...now I got to read all this stuff too

I'll get to this stuff once I get done writing my use cases. Thanks for all these resources. I find myself reading more Java related stuff than AS anymore.

Hey h00d, Do you have any unit testing frameworks for AS 3?
