I learned a lot from "Adobe Flex 3: Training From The Source." It takes you through an entire project, from start to finish. They also have their own web-page and a discussion group as well. Very, very helpful.
The book: http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Flex-3-Training-Source/dp/0321529189/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269025874&sr=8-1 The web-site and discussion group: http://www.flexgrocer.com/flex3.htm Another good book is "Flex 3 Cookbook." It lists specific examples to solve specific questions you might have while working on a project. It's not the book you want to start with, but it's a great reference to have when you've actually started working on your own projects. http://www.amazon.com/Flex-Cookbook-Code-Recipes-Developers-Developer/dp/0596529856/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269026139&sr=1-1 Best of luck to you.
