believes that it's on the edge of a breakthrough in how people think
about the Internet. FCS has been designed to provide web developers
with the means to add polished interactive audio and video features to
their sites, the sort of features that users have come to expect.
Naturally, the process of efficiently integrating rich media into

least. That's where Programming Flash Communication Server factors
in. As the foremost reference on FCS, it helps readers understand how
FCS can facilitate:

--Video on demand

--Live webcasts

--Video chat and messaging

--Shared desktop conferences

--Live auctions

--Interactive whiteboard presentations

--Workflow collaboration

--Multi-user gamesProgramming Flash Communication Server not only
explains how to use the pre-built FCS components to construct a simple
application, it also explains the architecture so that developers can
program custom components to make even more advanced applications. In
addition, the book explains how to truly optimize performance, and
talks about considerations for networked applications as well as the
media issues pertaining to FCS. Programming Flash Communication
Server gives developers a sorely needed leg up on this potentially
intimidating technology. It lets users develop cool web applications
ranging from direct dating experiences with real-time video, to pre-
recorded corporate presentations, to news services with video and
audio, and much more. At last, the ability to build web sites with
rich interactive features--minus the complex downloads and
installation hassles--is a reality. And now, with Programming Flash
Communication Server from O'Reilly by your side, you can do more
quickly and easily than you ever dreamed possible.
