Robin Hilliard of Rocketboots posted today about an application that he has developed with Flex and Cairngorm, that has over 1700 classes, and around 500 MXML files. The application has been built by a project team, and for a client, who have attributed the successful delivery of the project to Cairngorm (and I'm sure to the development skills and hard-work of the team as well !).
This is very much a recurring theme; to hear about development teams who have embraced large mission-critical applications and with hindsight, have said that they'd have no idea how they'd have achieved what they've achieved, had they not embraced Cairngorm.
Even more gratifying, is to see a number of job-postings appear, with organisations such as Yahoo!, who not only ask for experience of Flex, but experience of Flex with Cairngorm.
Now that I have a blog that does an admirable job against comment spam, I'd like to open up this blog-entry to ask if people would like to share their experiences of commercial or large-scale applications that they are developing with Cairngorm. If you can share names and URLs all the better, but even just sharing your experiences would be great feedback for us !
We have just launched a very sophisticated Dashboard built using the Cairngorm framework. In my research, i'm yet to find a more complex "OLAP" type app built on this platform.
We intend to build more of these.
Would you be interested in seeing the framework's mettle on handling such an applications?
I'd love to hear more about your experiences with Cairngorm; we've also been helping customers build dashboard applications with Cairngorm upon OLAP data-cubes, with much success. Feel free to post here, or drop me an email to my adobe.com address (I'm sure you can work it out from my blog URL ;) ). Best, Steven.
