Re: [flexcoders] Re: Praise for the Flex 3 Documentation
There's a book published by torrent on Flex3 that actually rocks. Of course, downloading of copyright protected material is your own responsability.

RE: Dmitri Girski [EMAIL PROTECTED] mitek17 And now everyone will also print out 1000 pages of documentation... :) Dmitri Girski [EMAIL PROTECTED] mitek17 LOL, I didn't mean I was going to print them. I've ordered the official hardcopies from Adobe, very cheap too. RE: Dmitri Girski [EMAIL PROTECTED] mitek17 Besides waste of paper, what's the point of loosing context search? Dmitri Girski [EMAIL PROTECTED] mitek17 Like I said, liveDocs I live in all day, would be without them - and of course stuff like that is pointless to print or have hardcopy, but the PDFS I'm taking about are not just language references, there's lots more than that. You really should take a look. Glenn Williams tinylion:development/

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Praise for the Flex 3 Documentation
IMHO, it's a lot easier to read and learn if you print it out. It's a lot easier to use as a reference if you keep it digital. - Dan On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 11:54 AM, Dmitri Girski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And now everyone will also print out 1000 pages of documentation... :) Besides waste of paper, what's the point of loosing context search?

We try to accomodate everyone: * If you want docs in your IDE, use Flex Builder Help. * If you want docs on the Web, use the Flex Help Resource Center http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ , which has links to PDF files and LiveDocs. * If you want everything locally, including PDFs for usage docs and HTML for the Language Reference, download the Flex 3 documentation in a zip file http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/flex3_documentation.zip . Also, I'd like to put in plugs for the Flex 3 Getting Started Experience http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/Flex/Getting+Started , which is a wiki-based site designed for newbies, and for the Flex Doc Team blog http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/ , which has all kinds of useful information. Best regards, Randy Nielsen Flex Doc Manager
[flexcoders] Re: Praise for the Flex 3 Documentation
Good work, Randy! I've never bothered myself buying any books on Flex or AS (even including so tempting Flex for Dummies in 10 days :) All necessary information is in the documentation. And I am very doubt that the missing bits are covered anywhere.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Praise for the Flex 3 Documentation
I've just ordered the printed Flex 3 documentation. Yay! Nows the chance for some UK Flexers to buy my Flex 2 docs at a good price.. ;-) I'd also like to give Adobe the thumbs-up on making the product dual platform - PC and Mac - I'm sure that's helped a lot of people.
