Adobe Consulting is pleased to announce that the Cairngorm Micro-architecture has moved onto Adobe Open Source. Its hard to believe that Cairngorm is approaching 4 years old - Steven and I announced it at the Max conference in New Orleans...
So I have challenged the Adobe Consulting team with producing some technical guides around Cairngorm - short 2-4 page documents - that capture some of the approaches, techniques and ideas we have been implementing on projects worldwide, where we are building Rich Internet Applications with Cairngorm.

So the two lies about Cairngorm were that "we're building a lightweight version of Hibernate...
