The boys at WebOrb have been very busy working away on getting Remoting for flex in .NET very solid. Today they release the Release candidate 1, Which means its almost 100%. So now its probably time to download the RC1 and have a play. I love open API's like webservices and rpc calls for open API's on commercail services but you really cant beat the small packet size of binary remoting. One of the new features in WebOrb 3.0 is intergrated security, which isnt enabled on the RC but will be soon.

Not to mention all the hard work in the back end but check out the front end. They have build a management console in flex of course, which is a central place for documentation and code generation. THATS RIGHT CODE GENERATION!!!

And not just one lanuage. Remember that WebOrb can cover many network protocols including Ajax.

 As well as this there is a central place to view examples:

So even if you just want to know what its al about try downloading and install it (its very easy) and take a look. There are many many more feature included with this new release but too many to talk about in one post. I believe Mark Pillar will be doing some demo videos and tutorials soon.
