An API for integration is not quite the same as built for extending. FarCry Core is it itself a framework in which the "huge Model-Glue application" could likely have been built. But hey I'm certainly no expert in Sava so take my opinion with a grain of salt. > I've tried a couple of times to get started with Farcry, but it didn't really > click with me.

For those who tried to use FarCry in the past and found it difficult I would thoroughly recommend the new FarCry Jump Start Course -- so far we've had tremendous feedback. The course details the building of an application from the ground up and has been very helpful in getting developers to "click" with the way the FarCry framework is constructed: http://org.farcrycore.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/farcry-jumpstart-500-20080905.pdf Best regards, geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313796 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
