Real World SPRY

I just finished watching Ray Camden’s fantastic Spry presentation and I realised, I keep forgetting to blog about the stuff I am doing with ColdFusion, Spry and other technologies (what can I say, CFEclipse is what I like talking about!).

Over the last couple of months we at Design UK have released a couple of big retail sites for the UK. They are both driven by ColdFusion (of course) and Java, but I kind of forgot (silly me) that they also have some nice Spry implementation.

Jaeger is a luxury British brand renowned for designing stylish, innovative and superb quality womenswear, menwear and accessories whose site we redesigned and redeveloped, as well as adding a lot of features (content management and eCommerce), there are some real-world examples of using Spry. The reason I am posting this is that a lot of the examples I have seen are not “in-situ” so I thought people would like to know of sites that ARE using it.

A nice part of the site for you to check it out working are some product pages such as this one or this one. Just change the colour and you can see different related products and the image changes.

So, I know its a pre-release technology, but its pretty handy and works really well, go check it out.
