Heh, none taken... I've been playing arround with Flex for some months already (MXML and ActionScript). I have quite a big understanding of what Cairngorm is and what it could be used for (I use ARP for Flash) but I would love to give Cairngorm a go.
The fact that I am a GUI girl and usually never mess with the server (I do interact with servers, not set them up) wuldn't really mean I don't have a need for Cairngorm to develop a Flex app. Claudia On 2/6/06, Alex Uhlmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Claudia, > > > No offense here, but maybe it's best if you start looking at Flex itself > first before diving into an architectual framework, such as Cairngorm.
