11.5. Conclusion

This chapter has demonstrated how Flash Remoting can be used to add data connectivity to FlashCom applications. Flash Remoting can access web services, server-side scripts, CGI applications, XML files, or the local filesystem with the help of an application server such as ColdFusion. Just your luck, the next chapter covers ColdFusion to perform numerous utility functions and database queries not possible with FlashCom alone.

We're almost done with our tour of FlashCom internals and associated technologies. By now, you should have a solid theoretical foundation but you may be having trouble seeing the forest for the trees. Don't fret; subsequent chapters deal with component frameworks, application development, performance tuning, security, and more.
