I am about to add some operational layers to my flex viewer project in all about 90 feature classes.  I am looking for a "best tips and practices". Does anyone have any advice or links to literature?
Thanks

Jason,

   Best Practice is to create web maps that a subject focused and NEVER has a web map that has 90 feature classes in it... Web maps are suppose to be user friendly and not require a GIS professional to operate. A user should not have to look through 90 layers to find what they are looking for. I am actually presenting a the ESRI Developer summit on this exact topic.

Hi Robert,
    We got our travel budget slashed this year. Can you post on the Flex Forum when the Developer Summit Videos are posted. I'd really like to see your Flex Viewer session. Thanks, Janie
