I think it would be helpful if Adobe published some guidelines about where the lines are between the different technologies, and when to choose FMS, LCDS, BlazeDS, or Cocomo. The lines were already beginning to become blurry for me, and now to add Cocomo to the mix just confuses the issue. The idea that a Flex developer could add some of this functionality to their apps without much server side knowledge is a big plus though. I know a couple of guys who would want to take advantage of that scenario. I'm anxious to get my hands dirty with it and see what it can do... Tim Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the response. I think it would be helpful if Adobe published some guidelines about where the lines are between the different technologies, and when to choose FMS, LCDS, BlazeDS, or Cocomo.

The idea that a Flex developer could add some of this functionality to their apps without much server side knowledge is a big plus though. I know a couple of guys who would want to take advantage of that scenario.

I’m anxious to get my hands dirty with it and see what it can do…

This is real time Flash and Flex apps in the cloud. You don't *really* need to know much about Data Services or FMS to add a bit of collaboration to your application. Sure, if you're an LCDS/FMS rockstar, then I'm not sure Cocomo provides much benefit for you (again, other than the hosting). But I think this makes it much more accessible to a lot more people. Plus, when you want to get more complex, you can use the Cocomo APIs to start adding more granular and customized collaboration. =Ryan ryan@adobe.com I think you discount the hosting aspect.
