Say it.<br /> <strong>(GF)</strong>: I'm standing here, staring at Mike Kollen!<br> <strong>(MK)</strong>: CMM compliant and Instructor of the year baby!<br> <strong>(GF)</strong>: And if Mike Kollen wants us to learn Cairngorm, we should probably learn more Cairngorm!<br /> <strong> (MK):</strong> Say it, baby!<br> <strong> (GF): </strong>And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish. But the last time I checked, we don't have a whole lot of applications that use Cairngorm.<br> <strong> (MK): </strong>I gotta have more Cairngorm, baby!<br> <strong> (GF): </strong>and I'll be doing myself a disservice -- and every programmer in this company, if I don't learn the heck out of this framework.<br> <strong> (MK):</strong> <strong>Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more Cairngorm!</strong><br> <strong> (GF): </strong>Thanks, Mike. But I think, maybe if I just leave.. and, maybe I'll come back later, and we can learn that Cairngorm framework.<br> <strong> (MK):</strong> Aw, baby..<br> <strong> (EB): </strong>Gene, wait! Why don't you learn that framework right now. With us. Together. <br> [ everyone agrees ]<br /> <strong> (GF):</strong> Do you mean that, Eric?<br> <strong> (BD): </strong>He speaks for all of us.<br> <strong> (GF): </strong>Thank you.<br> <strong> (MK): </strong>Babies.. before we're done here.. y'all be using gold-plated laptops.<br> <strong> (A): </strong>What does that mean?<br> <strong> (MK): </strong>Never question Mike Kollen! Program it baby! <p align="center"> [ the class starts up again, this time Frenkle is learning Cairngorm in tune with the programmers.

I have been busy as you can see for obvious reasons in the pictures below. My corporate students tend to get most of my time and code examples. I will do my best to contribute more to the general community. I will be teaching ColdFusion, C#, and Java with a Flex 2 UI architected with the Cairngorm framework. Look for code examples with this focus this year. http://www.mikekollen.com/client/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=05D9B390-1143-ED80-873CCFC08B41F46F 2007-01-08T23:47:00-07:00 Cairngorm
