Cairngorm on Labs

As many of you are aware, Cairngorm now has space at Adobe Labs. We are hoping to soon update the content on Labs in order to give people more resources to become productive with Cairgorm.

We'd really like to hear from you if you have any ideas or opinions on the type of thing we should be including.

Please let us know and reply to all or just directly to me (dharfleet at adobe.com) with details of what you would like to see, why you want to see it and how it would enable you or others to utilise Cairngorm.

More articles and easier to follow, such as the Digimmersion "Flex Application Design for Cairngorm" article.

It would be helpful to extend this article, by covering an entire application from the backend sql, oracle, other through to the EJB's, Pojo's, or Hibernate, etc... up to the UI.

Also for us ADHDers the more illustrations the better. Some of us have problems with abstract ideas. More visual diagrams.

Thx, J

I would really like to see some examples of an FDS project using cairngorm.

The current sample apps are simple enough to barely warrant Cairngorm, which makes sense for demonstrating the concepts but doesn't demonstrate what a "real" application may look like. Though likely not practical unless code from an existing project can be published, it would be neat to see a relatively complex sample app.

Well, something like the original extensive walkthrough that Stephen did, only using Cairngorm 2.0 and AS 3 would be great for starters. I'd personally like to see a few more sample apps using more of the standard flex components, addressing issues like how to manage state in cairngorm (using a "state" variable on the model seems intuitive, but I wasn't very confident about it until I saw others doing it) and use the progress bar (it's hard to "bind" back to the model.) Anyway, thanks for asking for our input.

I've wanted to learn Cairngorm for a while, but it seems all of the tutorials assume you are familiar with Java, MVC, etc. How about a plain-jane step by step (explaining along the way) tutorial. Nothing fancy, but at least 1 example of each main point of Cairngorm - from START to FINISH. Not too many tutorials even tell you how to START (ie: where to put the files, how to adjust your path, etc) Thanks for listening!

I and a couple members of the Flexcoders group are currently developing a couple eLearning modules covering Cairngorm. This, after creating a good flow diagram(http://www.pureux.com/cairngorm/cairngorm2_rpc.swf).

Would you like to work together on this?

Of course it will be a great idea,i'm struggling now for some days trying to find more informations on Cairngorm, the only things i found was the main documentation, a tutorial, even for a little,little small project will help me greatly to start from scratch...

There is now an example using Cairngorm available. You can download the war for the cairngormStore app on my blog at http://weblogs.macromedia.com/arayne

Are there any docs on migrating from Cairngorm 0.99 to the new version? I am aware of the Flex migration doc from Adobe, it's useful but it would be nice to see something specific to Cairngorm as well.

thanks
