First make sure u have build simple Flex apps and understand the little things about Flex.
Secondly, read the 6 page article by Stephen to understand what Cairngorm is and how it works. Dont worry about version numbers, v0.99 and v2.1 and almost identical. It is a micro-architecture, it is so small and simple. Then start a small Flex app that will use Cairngorm, create a View, a Model, a Command, a Delegate put it all together, run it and then watch it all work. If you keep it simple you should get the hang of it pretty fast. Enjoy!

IN LONG: I want to learn Caringorm. I only make flex apps internally for my company. My "problem" is that everyone loves flex; I would call it scope creep but it's more like scope run. The bigger the apps get, the more visible they are and the more people want them. I am sold on the Caringorm method of separating things out and making it very modular. I am excited about learning it and I think it will make my more productive. Now my problem is the learning curve. I have visited caringormdocs.org. The first thing on the list is the six-part article from adobe consulting. I've read the first part and it raises my concerns when it talks about the upcoming release of flex 2 and it references Caringorm .99 (it's on 2.1 now!). I have 0 experience with Flex before version 2 and I'm afraid that learning an older version of the framework might hinder my development. The other two learning tools that they list are the Caringorm Diagram and the Caringorm Diagram Explorer. Now in theory I understand what is going on. In practice these diagrams don't help me implement the Caringorm framework. I feel they are geared more towards people who already have a good foundation. My third option is the examples. This is my next plan of attack, I'm going to go after the basic example and try to duplicate it in a project that I'm working on. So community; what do you guys think is the best way to learn Caringorm? -- WARNING ------- This electronic message and its attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information, which is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
