Hello and welcome to Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst: the New Workflow. I've written this book to guide you through the process of deciding how to tackle a new project. As you probably know, developing a Rich Internet Application is not always an easy task to do. There are several aspects to keep in mind. One of the key aspects is the project workflow. Not every application will have the same workflow applied to it during its creation. A lot of it depends on the size of the project, whether or not you need to connect your application to some kind of back end technology, how many people you are working with and, let's not forget this one, how the application is designed. If you have been developing RIAs in the past you are likely to have spoken unspeakable words when receiving the final design for the application from the designer on your team, especially if the designer is not familiar with the capabilities and limits of the technology that is used for actually developing the application. Or maybe you had to redo a couple of days work because of some "minor" design changes. You will no doubt have had a couple of frustrating moments in your life due to these kinds of problems.
