It's an excellent book I have to say, but keep in mind that it was written for Flex 1.0, so some of the examples break in 1.5, and a lot of them need to be re-written for 2.0.
Besides the examples, it's the concepts that are very important, and provide the reader of what features are available in Flex, and how they work generally. Though at this point in time, I'd wait for a 2.0 book since architecturally a lot of things have changed fundamentally since 1.0. pixelgeek wrote: > Maybe a potentially touchy subject considering the group mods but is > the "Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex" book a worthwhile > purchase now? > > I ask primarily because I am not able to get the sample app from > Chapter 2 to run (or compile) and if the rest of the book has similar > issues due to the changes to Flex and MXML (note: I don't see this as > an issue with the authors or the book just a fact of life) I am not > sure the point behind continuing to work through it. > > So are the rest of the samples in the book salvagable or has the > language changed that much that I will run into similar issues through > the rest of the book? > > TI > -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
