Adobe Developer Centre Update (ADCU14/08/07)

Note from the editor

Learn to create efficient, cross-platform RIAs with two new articles in the Flex™ Developer Center. First, Bruce Eckel explains why Java developers will love working with Python XML-RPC services in Flex/Adobe® AIR™ RIAs. They're easy, straightforward to use and an excellent solution for distributed systems. Next, tune those RIAs in Michael Herron's guide to monitoring and optimising your Flex RIAs with RemoteObject RPC calls.

Dreamweaver® developers have been asking for more PHP resources, and we've been listening.
