Spry + CF
Spry + CF: Massimo Foti ties together the Spry photo gallery sample with a ColdFusion backend, to zip together selected photos into a single download. Working code is available. Via House of Fusion Ajax list. Worth a look -- Spry makes it easy to manipulate XML data in HTML pages, and ColdFusion handles tasks that the browser cannot do on its own. Take a look.

Dang, beat to the punch.
Ironically, one of the things that excites me about Spry the most is using static XML files so easily. e-Learning courseware needs to stand on their own, you don't have an application or database server at your disposal if you're a content developer deploying courses on various LMS's at various clients.
How cool is it to be able to build re-usable e-Learning apps without Flash?
Spry is the stuff the new Coursebuilder (I know, not done by Macromedia anymore) should be made of, not 8 year old recycled code.
[jd sez: I'm with Paul on the "easy use of external XML data" part... once you can get your data to this neutral text format then you're ready to run with it with Spry.]
