:: guest.booq ::

September 16, 2007

Ok, so I’m just spicing up a lame name with punctuation (that’s always a bad sign) but I wanted a little more then a hello world type application.

: guest.booq : here it is. This is about the most simple application using Cairngorm you will probably find. There are no fancy effects or transitions and the form isn’t saving to the database yet, but I wanted to get a simple listing/drill-down project up for preview. In the coming days I’m going to add functionality to this same interface to show you how easy it is to extend and alter with Flex and ColdFusion.

Some things to note: The View is being controlled by a ViewModel and the fields are bound to data model objects in the ModelLocator (another solid denterprise design pattern) . The Services are registered as RemoteObjects in the Services.MXML a very clever implementation of the ServiceLocator design pattern offered by Cairngorm.

I hope to get the users editable in a day or so (possibly changing jobs so I’m sorry if it takes longer). Eventually I hope to consume some third-party services, get some Stock Ticking maybe weather, Account management, usage tracking… all kinds of high-hopes for this little jewel!
