[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 Cairngorm and Data Binding
For a member of the Cairngorm team or anyone who is a Cairngorm expert: Is it good to use Data Binding with Cairngorm or should it be avoided? Can Data Binding be "overused"?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 Cairngorm and Data Binding
Simon, Data-binding is good. Very good. We advocate it hugely, and the ModelLocator pattern which we added to Cairngorm was our way of encouraging people to leverage data-binding more than we were seeing they were, during consulting engagements. Have bindings. Lots of them, between the Model (ModelLocator) and the view (your MXML components). Let data-binding do the hard work of model-view notifications. Data-binding is simply a short-hand notation for setting up observers/listeners; if you didn't use data-binding, you'd have to do this heavy-lifting yourself. Perhaps data-binding can be abused (used the wrong way - though I can't offer any examples), but overused ? I don't think so.

Anywhere you need to show some sort of item to a user (list of products in the store example), the control that displays them show be using data binding into the modelLocator. Can Data Binding be overused? Probably, anything can be. It may be overkill to bind all your on-screen static text, for instance.

Would you say that it is one of the better/key features of the Flex framework?
