What This Book Contains

Flash development encompasses drawing, programming, animating, and working with sound, images, and video. You can be proficient at one or many of these technologies. There are numerous books that cover Flash, each with its own merits and approach. Knowledge of ActionScript is essential to understanding Flash Remoting. (However, the ActionScript gymnastics that Flash 5 developers had to employ to communicate with a server are virtually eliminated with Flash Remoting.)

This book teaches Flash Remoting for programmers, because it is a technology for programmers. I assume you are one of the following:

  • A Flash (ActionScript) programmer who wants to use Flash Remoting to communicate with a server

  • A server-side application developer who wants to expand his knowledge to Flash development

I discuss Flash Remoting using terminology that an experienced programmer will appreciate, but I try to keep the discussion within the reach of aspiring programmers as well. I also explain the best practices for working with Flash Remoting. Although best practices are often subjective, I try to be as objective as possible or offer consensus conclusions about best practices.
