CFObjective() 2008 - Day 3 - Cairngorm for ColdFusion Developers

Building Flex apps using Cairgorm

Why does Cairngorm seem so difficult? Tends to over explain the patterns in CG. Forget that and just focus on easily-repeatable approach. MATE is another potential Flex framework to check out.

DL from labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Cairngorm. Add it to the Flex Project Build Path > Add SWC.

The FrontController determines where to route requests like other CF frameworks. Command executes the service via a Delegate, returning data to result(). Delegate encapsulates access to biz service. ModelLocator maintains state of app similar to App.cfm, via data binding.

You might use CG if your project is moderate to high level complexity or has several or more use cases. Or you are working with a group of devs. Don't try to learn along with learning Flex in general.
