Update: This article has been posted to my site at http://www.remotesynthesis.com/post.cfm/cairngorm-crystallized
I recently published an article in the most recent, Flex-focused Fusion Authority Quarterly Update (Volume 2 Issue 2) titled "Cairngorm Crystallized: Examining the Cairngorm Microarchitecture from a Workflow Perspective" along with my coworker and friend, Michael Corbridge. I found that other Cairngorm tutorials often got overly focused on the why rather than the how. Personally, I have found that the why only becomes clear with the doing. Therefore, the focus of this article is on covering how to use Cairngorm to develop your project rather than on explaining the patterns it implements. Hopefully, this will be useful for anyone interested in beginning with the framework. If you have read the article, feel free to post any comments or questions here.
Tom Ortega also has an article showing an app as it evolves from non-Cairngorm, to Cairngorm. Probably a great addition to your article for those new to or investigating cairngorm.

Hi Brian,
I have that issue of FAQU and it says I can download the files to follow along from
ftp://www.fusionauthority.com but I don't have a username or password...
do you have the files posted somewhere else for download?
Thanks for all you do for the community!

Am I missing something. Is this article only available in Print? Did I just time warp back to 1981?

Actually, it's available in PDF to all subscribers and for separate purchase. As I understand that you are from Adobe, I'll send you access to the PDF.
Warping back to 1981 is a good thing, as the music was better. :)
