Answer 1

Andy,
Good subject.... I don't use CF, but I understand your
motivation to write the article - which to me underlines the sub
structure issues involved with using a front end xml technology
such as spry. I personally don't have much to say about spry
because I think the core of it works brilliantly, any improvements
are a bonus to me - don't flame me for this but I am not interested
in widgets and effects - the core data manipulation is what floats
my boat.
It would be even more brilliant if adobe could contribute to
the ‘spry package’ useful information about managing
XML data on the backend – I realise this would be broad - I
don’t really know how it would be approached. This would give
us 'designers' some confidence in building the applications we
choose - don't ask me specifically what that entails (if I knew I
would do it myself) – to my mind there is a lot more to the
power to spry than front end effects to display data if coupled up
with good backend coordination – although the effects
solutions are good - I am not knocking the effects etc… I am
simply supporting the above fore-mentioned article as a cause for
interest when developing with spry.
