RE: Flex 2 books for CF/AS3
I'm reading through Programming Flex by Joey Latoun and I have to say, I don't like it much at all. I'm a complete beginner at Flex and by chapter 4 they were already deep into the technical aspects of Flex. I just don't think that it's written well at all. It makes me want to return it and get my money back. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 10:31 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Flex 2 books for CF/AS3 Can anyone recommend some titles on Flex 2 with focus on CF and AS3.

Re: Flex 2 books for CF/AS3
Adobe Flex 2: Training from the Source is a good book to read. One of the authors of that book, James Talbot, also did the Adobe Flex 2 Rich Internet Applications DVD from Total Training. The DVD is a great way to get introduced to Flex. -Mike Chabot On Nov 26, 2007 1:54 PM, Andy Matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dave...

RE: Flex 2 books for CF/AS3
Can anyone recommend some titles on Flex 2 with focus on CF and AS3. Looked at a couple of titles but Amazon doesn't seem to offer look inside for those titles. Hate to purchase something with a brief overview of CF integration. I doubt you'll find any Flex 2 book that has any significant CF stuff, because there isn't all that much to say about CF in a Flex book. Any Flex 2 book will cover the basics of AS3.

Re: Flex 2 books for CF/AS3
You might want to start here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_cf.html One of the examples is a Hello World example that shows how you can get data from a CFC using Flash Remoting. It is a good way to get started. Good luck, Mike Chabot On Nov 23, 2007 11:30 AM, Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can anyone recommend some titles on Flex 2 with focus on CF and AS3.
