RE: [flexcoders] Advice finding definitive Cairngorm examples ported for Flex 2.0

[Steven Webster]

Mike,   We hear you .... however, we have to balance getting the framework available to those that are able to pick it up and run with it, versus getting nothing to anyone until we have lots of examples.   The 6-part series is purposefully designed to help elucidate the concepts behind Cairngorm; it is an intention to refresh this with another article part that brings this all to bear for Cairngorm 2 and Flex 2; however what's more important is that people understand the Cairngorm concepts, are comfortable with developing in Flex without Cairngorm, and so are able to transfer the concepts using the migration documents that we have written from Cairngorm 0.99 to Cairngorm 2.   We're looking to the community to also share their sample applications and experiences - hence the Wiki on Adobe Labs - and it has been great on flexcoders of late to see so many of the community responding with everything from blog entries, to articles, to sample apps using Cairngorm with AMFPHP and diagrams that describe how Cairngorm works.  We're collating these examples and will also make them more centrally available through www.adobe.com/go/cairngorm/   We *will* be releasing more samples for Cairngorm 2 - however in the meantime, if you're having issues, feel free to ask here and we'll endeavour to help you out.  Check out http://weblogs.macromedia.com/swebster/ and follow some of my colleagues blogs in the navigation - in particular Alex Uhlmann has been posting a number of simple examples, from Login examples through to a dashboard example, that are build upon Cairngorm 2.   I hope that helps in the interim, and welcome both suggestions and contributions from the community that has joined us since the release of Flex 2, with what we could do to make Cairngorm easier for you to embrace.   But first ... embrace Flex, and get used to building applications without the microarchitecture.  Keep Cairngorm out of your (general, not directed at Mike) initial learning curve, would be my strongest advice.   Kindest Regards,   Steven   Steven Webster Practice Leader (Rich Internet Applications) Adobe Consulting Westpoint, 4 Redheughs Rigg, South Gyle, Edinburgh, EH12 9DQ, UK p: +44 (0) 131 338 6108 m: +44 (0) 7917 428 947  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: 31 July 2006 18:58 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Advice finding definitive Cairngorm examples ported for Flex 2.0 Hello All, Forgive me if this question has been asked before, but I am swimming in old examples from a couple years ago - and there are too many inconsistencies, namespace changes, etc. since that time. Also, I am having a heck of a time, finding tutorials on how to truly integrate Cairngorm into their existing Flex Apps. What's even more frustrating, is the 6-part series that's always being touted about on the Adobe Website - still references the old .99 version of Cairngorm, and I am not even sure about the validity of the Flex Store example (which is bundled within the .99 zip file). Could any of you please point me in the right direction, as to where I can find Flex 2.0 tutorials - which reference the com.adobe namespace? Again, just having all this old source code from years ago, I don't even know where to START.
