Re: [flexcoders] Developing RIA book

According to Barnes & Noble order system the book "Delivering Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex 2 by Steven Webster" is supposed to be out today. I have had it on order for a while now. So just to be sure, you're saying this has just been started and it *won't* be out for a while, correct? Not to pin a date on it or anything but do you have any time estimates? Thanks, Judah PS IMHO I'd rather have an awesome book that takes longer than a rushed book, with errors and vague concepts.

As a newcomer to Flex, I was wondering if it is wise to buy the book "Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex"? AFAIK this book was made for flex 1.0 to 1.5, while the most up to date version of Flex is 2.0. Are these versions of Flex so much different? -- "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing."
