10 Tips For Working With Cairngorm

Jesse Warden has a nice little article on 10 tips for working with Cairngorm.  I personally break a lot of the “rules” because I’m a Cairngorm n00b, but my apps still work :P  I’ve also seen a lot of other developers break these, so as you’re reading this, you’ll see he has some tips broken down into A/B/C versions.  I don’t think there is a right and wrong way to code with Cairngorm, just whatever gets the job done in my honest opinion.  And he’s definitely right about using 3 classes in Cairngorm to do something that could take only one line of code otherwise.  I’ve battled with why I’d use Cairngorm because of this very reason, and honestly in personal projects I don’t because of it.  I usually only use Cairngorm when I’m forced to in a team environment like at work.
