AIR and Cairngorm Revisited

Posted by David Tucker in AIR, ConferencesFeb 21st, 2008 | 2 responses

As I stated earlier, I am presenting a session on ‘Cairngorm for Adobe AIR Applications’ at 360Flex Atlanta next week. I am in the process of finalizing my talk, but I wanted to give you guys (and girls) a chance to give some feedback which would could impact what areas I focus on for my talk. I feel like I have five hours worth of material – so, I know that I need to narrow it down to the areas that would really be beneficial.

Here are a few questions that I would ask you.

  • What tighter integration would you like to see between Cairngorm and AIR?
  • What is most important when building in Cairngorm AIR applications for you: development speed, following MVCS design pattern, code reuse?
  • What AIR functionality is difficult for you to place in the Cairngorm flow?

Thanks in advance for your input, and I hope to see all of you at 360Flex Atlanta.

    Hey David,

    I think the main issue which needs to be addressed is native support for the SQLite APIs in the ServiceLocator. This must also take into account both synchronous and asynchronous execution.

    In addition, Cairngorm needs to provide support for File I/O as well.

    It has been my experience that these issues are the biggest hurdle developers will encounter when building AIR applications on Cairngorm.

    Thanks,
    Eric
