Re: [flexcoders] Flex book and Flex 2
Book was fine from my end, so same format (even a clueless git like me, got the concepts you were ranting about inside thine book). oh.. and i'm with you Steven, its Initialisation not Initialization .. damn Z spellers... I did however notice that the book was more of a starting point to what we later now know as Cairngorm (not that it was a bad thing, quite the opposite). I'd only flag that as if the framework changes, it might associate I guess "time" to the book in a more obvious manner... (ie is this text still relevant? hasn't the framework evolved? ). That and if certain folk on this list who are anti-framwork because of some religious reason that most can't understand, it could be a negative... That all being said, i'm more then happy to download your next book from various news groups without paying for it... (just kidding, i did buy your last one).

RE: [flexcoders] Flex book and Flex 2
Chris, The book will be updated for Flex 2, but we're at the very early stages of authoring right now. The current book doesn't cover ActionScript in any great amount of detail - it's assumed as knowledge that you'll do a much better job of getting elsewhere. Similarly, we don't try in the book to be exhaustive in terms of tags and attributes, but rather try to go beyond the documentation to give you some concept as to how to think about pulling the components of the Flex framework together to build your own real-world apps. So ... I'm highly confident that until the 2.0 book is available, the 1.5 book will get you almost all of the way to where you need to be with Flex. With that being said; if anyone wants to drop Ali or I private feedback as to what they liked/disliked about the book, and what you'd like to see for Flex 2.0 version of the book, it's (almost) not too late for us to take that feedback into consideration.
