Book description
Take advantage of Cairngorm, one of the leading Flex frameworks for building Rich Internet Applications (RIA)
Cairngorm is a framework that encourages best practices for RIA development. It is the most popular and widely deployed Flex framework, yet very few books provide the depth and detail necessary to thoroughly understand and utilize it. This helpful resource fills that void by going beyond the basics of Cairngorm and showing you the details behind its design.
Using a full-scale project throughout the book, the author shows you Cairngorm in a real-world situation. You'll examine the various parts of the framework and what those parts are designed to accomplish, plus you'll learn how to implement each of the individual parts to create a complete project.
