Under the hood...

Hello to the community!

I'm a long-time Flash Platform developer generally accustom to knowing exactly what's going on behind the scene's. I'm now charged with helping to get our implementation of Articulate off the ground and I'm wondering, from a technical standpoint, how does Presenter handle itself and content downloads when published for the web and/or LMS?

Is there any geek-worthy documentation out there that would help me understand what's going on under the hood during Presenter init and the initial download in a web and/or LMS environment?

I've been digging around, but not turning up much. Any direction would be appreciated!
