Great news to the Flex community that Cairngorm is now open-sourced. I can only hope for more great things to come. Having completed my first project using Cairngorm, i would certainly recommend it to anyone who is using Flex in their projects.

Google has started hosting a number of open-source Ajax libraries. Amongst them are:

• jQuery
• prototype
• script.aculo.us
• MooTools
• dojo

The AJAX Libraries API takes the pain out of developing mashups in JavaScript while using a collection of libraries. We take the pain out of hosting the libraries, correctly setting cache headers, staying up to date with the most recent bug fixes, etc.
