Epilogue
The book is over. We tried to discuss the most important subjects that Flex/AIR practitioners face while working on an enterprise RIA. We tried not to just give you better Flex components, but to explain how you can build similar or better ones for your enterprise-wide framework. We shared with you some not-so-obvious techniques for establishing communication between a Flex or an AIR client and the server-side systems.
We spent time explaining how to customize the networking protocols used in Flex/Java communications. We did this even though most of you can happily develop Flex RIAs without bothering much about what’s traveling over the wire. But if and when you are facing a challenge that requires changing the way Flex and Java communicate, this book will help make your project a success.
Adobe software engineers did a great job designing the Flex framework, but what’s more important is that they left all the doors open. Step in and enhance, extend, improve, and add more stuff to this great product as you see fit. Don’t be afraid!
The authors of this book would really appreciate your feedback. Please send your constructive critique and praises of this book our way.
