hi helmut,
ya, i think it's unfortunately still not very widely known. it was a new
venture for o'reilly, and actually quite a risky undertaking due to the
"log-cabin" setting, but i was determined to capture the "learning from
a friend" approach that i've found so helpful in my own career.
if anyone has any feedback on the content (or the pricing), o'reilly and
i would love to hear it. o'reilly is constantly trying to evaluate new
forms of training, and viewer/reader feedback could help decide whether
they do more videos in a similar style.

hi all,
as the author of an oop book myself, i have to admit that books aren't always
the right learning tool for everyone. i agree with benny...i've liked the video
training that's been emerging over the last few years.
here are a bunch of other free options:

in fact, there's also a "video version" of Essential ActionScript 3.0 available called
"The Lost ActionScript 3.0 Weekend". it's a commercial product, but lots of it is freely
available online here:

once you're up to speed on the basics, examples, practice, and a helping
community like flashcoders should take you the rest of the way.
if you're doing any flex work, i find peter dehaan's examples to be a fantastic
resource:
http://flexexamples.com/
and for targeted questions, the stackoverflow community is really helpful:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/actionscript
happy coding!

Hi Susan I cannot recommend any OOP book but I can recommend Lynda.com.
Lynda.com has some great video courses, like
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=759
Which amongst other covers OOP fundamentals and common design patterns.

I got AS 3 w/Design Patterns right when I delved into AS3 and I found the

Noted. And your thoughts, if any, on The Object-Oriented Thought Process?
