Hi and welcome. You're going to enjoy flex Im sure. It's a great framework and I think fun to work in.
Anyway books. Flex 4 Bible, nice big book that covers lots and a good place to start I liked the flex 3cookbook so assume flex 4 one will be a winner also, but it's not available in uk yet so haven't read it One of my favourites is Enterprise Development with Flex, O'Reilly though it's not an introductory book Those 3 will get you up to speed Actually the adobe manuals and help are really very good. Lots of online stuff on adobe.tv Also get onto adobe dev. website, loads on there. Read the specs on the adobe open source confluence Hope that helps, and feel free to drop me a message off forum if there's anything I can help you with while you get set-up and started Info at tinylion co uk Hope that helps Glenn Tinylion uk tinylion development & design From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Roy Pardi Sent: 09 June 2010 18:41 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] intro + good Flex reference book? Hi all, Just joined this group/list and am getting up to speed with Flex 4 + AIR. I'm coming from many years working with Director/Lingo, along with a fair amount of experience with AS3 + C++. I like Flex so far but am still figuring out working methods that are flexible and make logical sense to me. I'm using Flash Builder trial for now. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good Flex book that is on the level of Colin Moock's "Essential Actionscript 3"? In other words, something that isn't primarily project building tutorial-based but instead presents in-depth discussion of components and classes, the various frameworks (PureMVC, etc.) why choose one approach over another, best practices, etc. I ask because the thing that is hardest to get my head around is more architectural than syntax etc. Also, do most people use some form of code behind rather than loading code into CDATA script blocks? thanks for any pointers, --Roy -- ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.roypardi.com/
