Re: [flexcoders] Flex Books? Suggestions...
There's the RIA book that's currently in it's pre-release stage. I've seen some drafts and I can say it seems promising. I guess that the url is www.ria-book.com, not sure though.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Books? Suggestions...
Micky, 3rd party books are not yet out. Video based training is already out (including Lynda.com as Chris pointed out.) Renaun put up an informal (but pretty complete) list of current and forthcoming 3rd party titles here: http://renaun.com/blog/2006/06/27/49/ Your #1 first stop should be the free PDF docs that Adobe provides (7 books, combined total of 3,200 pages): http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ Granted the Adobe docs are not fast-paced (but nor are they super-noob). Be forewarned, coming up to speed on ActionScript 3 is a big part of commanding mastery of Flex 2. And the amount of change between this version of ActionScript and the one before it is arguably greater than the past version to version changes in ActionScript. (But AS3/FP9 does give you amazing things you never had before in Flash/AS like real error messages, a debugger, etc.) hth, g On 9/1/06, Micky Hulse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Just joined the list...

Micky Hulse wrote: Any suggestions would be great. :) Ah, great suggestions so far, thanks all! Looking through the links and researching your suggestions now. So, maybe I should re-phrase: Rather than book suggestions... Links to tutorials, examples, dev websites, blogs, and/or anything else you think might be helpful when it comes to learning this new technology -- don't hold back. :) Actually, any good examples out of well-designed Flex-based apps? A resource something like www.cssbeauty.com would be cool... you know, maybe www.flexbeauty.com? :D Wow, I am pretty excited... Flex looks like a nice merging of current web technologies, accessibility practices, and Flash - kick butt! Thanks!
