RE Cairngorm, a few people have brought this up to me so I want to get this out there.
Cairngorm is great for many folks and many kinds of apps, and we have obviously found success with it in Adobe Consulting (note, not the product team). However no single tool fits all occasions and Cairngorm certainly doesn't solve all problems. I would never recommend anyone use Cairngorm as they're getting started with Flex, I think there are too many concepts within the Flex framework that you need to understand on their own before you bring in more architectures. So please make sure you understand the Flex fundamentals before trying to learn Cairngorm. Now as Tom says, for large apps Cairngorm can prove useful. But it isn't the only way to do things and it certainly isn't the only Adobe approved way of doing things. We don't have an "approved" method. Some folks want us to approve something, other folks don't want us to approve anything because they think it stifles innovation within the community. I'm not sure where I stand on that, but for now Cairngorm is something that Adobe Consulting uses, and that a lot of the community uses, but it isn't the only valid approach.

For the purposes of learning, taking your first few steps and building the first few apps, it's fine. You don't want an example of X made unclear by also doing lots of other stuff. > Cairngorm isn't even so much as given a footnote in the book. A shame, as it's basically the Adobe approved way to build (large/complex) Flex applications. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to heterogeneously empower mission-critical schemas On: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
