Very nice review! In fact, it was because of your review that I bought the flex 3 book.

Nice site – I love it 🙂

Sound like this book provides a lot of in-depth detail: I may have to get a copy.

I’ve been slowly working through the Adobe Press book “Training from the Source” by Jeff Tapper et al (“slowly” because I’ve been busy, not because of the book). It’s well-suited for beginners and does a really nice job of teaching the material through the process of building an sample e-commerce website: the lessons are very engaging.

Thanks Josh for the kind words. I would have loved to do some more coverage on component development, but as you said, that would be a whole book on its own 🙂

Glad you are enjoying the book

Ryan, I have not yet read the AS3 edition of Making Things Move. The original for AS2 was an excellent and highly recommended book, and I expect the new version is just as good.

not too boring either

For me, that’s one of the most important requirements for a good programming book. Keep me entertained because I want the information presented to me differently than the official documentation.

yeah good book… although browns book was not terrible, prgramming flex 2 just seems more enjoyable… One thing I can say for sure is that Charles Brown is one very dedicated man.

Have you read Keth Peters new book, Making Thins Move, Actionscript 3 edition. It’s such a friendly and easy way to break into as3 I highly recommend that too…

Enjoy your reading pal.
