Yeah, it's a hard line to walk trying to write something that someone without any knowledge of Flex can pick up and use to get started, but also trying to balance some more advanced stuff, all while keeping the page count ridiculously low (we ended up cutting a full chapter after exceeding the "For Dummies" absolute max allowed, make sure to check out the website on dummies.com for that extra chapter). And the dummies style is also to try to let the reader flip to any chapter without having to have read the previous ones, so that's an added challenge :)
Thanks for the support! It's always wonderful to hear nice things.
