FWIW, the rough draft of Programming Flex 2 was just updated to 295 pages and 11 chapters. I just downloaded it but haven't been able to look at it yet. As far as Flex TFTS, I am about halfway through it and I like the book alot. I am NOT a true developer, but a designer with dabblings in PHP and JSP so the step by step format of the book is helpful. Plus I've corresponded with the authors a few times and they've been very helpful. I can see though how a real developer would want more of a reference book and Programming Flex 2 looks to be more like that. ~Jack --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Andrey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have bought all the books out there that have been printed so far (and > it's not many :( at the moment. > > Programming Flex 2 is not out yet and only available in rough draft, and > even that is only a few chapters that are posted (57 pages available out of > 580) > > actionscript 3.0 cookbook is good, i liked it, useful for the future. most > cookbooks were a good purchase. > > flex 2 training from the source seems to be mostly a waste for developers > who already have something to build upon, while for beginners it might be > excellent.. they have EXTEREMELY detailed step-by-step directions that make > it difficult for people to just extract information, while for beginners > such hand-holding is exactly what's needed. > > overall, what i would really recommend is reading the pdfs of documentation > on adobe site.
