Franck, I appreciate your respons. When you say Remote Objects/Flex Data Services provides the most advanced way of interoperating with the backend, what specifically is possible?
What are the capabilities that I would get leveraging Remote Objects/Flex Data Services that I would not get (or would be difficult to implement) with Web services or HTTP services. If there are resources on the Adobe site that spell this out, please point me to them. Since we are looking at the different possibilities and we have somewhat of a blank slate, the more I can go into this with open eyes the better. I appreciate everyone who responded being willing to guide someone new to this architecture.
