Chapter 12. Flash Remoting Best Practices

The issue of best practices is a subjective topic. One person's idea of a best practice may be someone else's idea of a worst nightmare. As in all forms of programming, there is no single right way to perform a given task. For that reason, this chapter presents some of the common tactics employed by Flash Remoting developers. It is up to the developer to measure the options carefully and decide on the best course of action for a particular application.

We've touched on numerous best practices throughout the earlier chapters (see "best practices" in the index). Here we look at the big picture and cover additional best practices you should seriously consider. Refer also to the Macromedia white papers and articles on best practices cited in Appendix B.
