Hello Everyone,
I want so terribly to assimilate Flex into my programming life, as I can
see the true potential of it now. Coming from the Flash MX 2004 and
AS2.0 programming background, I can truly appreciate the power Flex
offers.
Since I am starting with a clean slate using Flex, I am seeking advice
on how I should handle my Data Structures on the Client Side, and how I
can collect data spread across multiple forms, and then send it to my
Remoting Server.
More than that, I've never been one to stare a Gift Horse in the mouth -
and ignore good advice. If I must learn Flex using blood, sweat and
tears - then maybe that's how I must learn it, but if there is a model I
can follow, that will serve as a guide for me, I would love to have a
tool like that.
Everybody keeps touting Cairngorm - and I downloaded everything from the
website. I read everything that was available, but there is one
critical piece missing. All the whitepapers talk about, is how
Cairngorm has evolved through the versions, what has changed since the
last version, and the fact that it addresses the modeling questions when
it comes to building RIA's -
Isn't there an article covering the topic of WHAT Cairngorm is? How it
works? Explain in plain English as to HOW the proposed structure and
included "helper files" enhances the developers ability to create RIA's
(which are scalable in nature).
Does everybody understand what I am getting at? There is nothing on the
website, that starts at "Ground Zero" - explaining "What Cairngorm is",
"Here is how it works", "Here is a coding example of a typical way of
doing an app, and then in comparison, the Cairngorm way".
I know you all, are probably going to say "Well, look at the bundled
applications, because it will spell it all out there". The thing is, I
don't want to have to make that determination for myself. I am not that
good yet - I actually need to be TOLD why it should be done this way.
Sorry for the unusual post, but I just need some clarifications on
Cairngorm. Pretend I am an idiot - and not somebody who has been
following this model for months, and has a good grasp of Flex.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
