Hello World Cairngorm example

Hello World example A couple of months ago, we posted an updated version of a Hello World Flex example. We have created the same example, but using the Cairngorm framework. It still uses Remoting and ColdFusion. It is simple, but I think that by being so simple, it is easier to follow than a full-fledge application. It shows most of the pieces that make up a Cairngorm application, such as the ModelLocator to store the data and the state of the application, the controller, the command, the services and the delegate.

Disclaimer: We do not usually use Cairngorm, so this is only our interpretation of how a Cairngorm app would look like (we use Mate for our Flex development).

    Kudos for the example!!! When I had requested it in the first place, I thought you guys could really attract more heavy-duty Flex developers by giving them a simple Cairngorm example to work from (even though it is overkill for a Hello World app). I think Cairngorm is really for those wanting to make serious applications in Flex. For me it has help me do some heavy lifting. I hope the community continues to grow You guys have definitely made some great contributions. Thanks again!

    Nice simple example,
    even dummies can understand how cairngorm would work like this.

    I am reading Professional Cairngorm (WILY publishing inc.), but even that book leaves you alone with figuring out how things work.

    Your hello world example is broken. I updated the Wikipedia article to link to this blog entry instead.
