Flex Best Practices: DTO
is the Horseshoe of your
Flex Application By Victor Rasputnis If I could pass just one
Flex advice that would
be: Use Data Transfer
Objects. Use custom Data
Transfer Objects to pass
data between server and
Flash tiers of your Flex
application. Do not use
XML. Yes, I know that XML
cool. Do not use raw
objects. Feb. 25, 2008 05:30 AM Reads: 7,449 | A Complete Application
