Re: [flexcoders] Developing RIA book
According to Barnes Noble order system the book "Delivering Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex 2 by Steven Webster" is supposed to be out today. I have had it on order for a while now. So just to be sure, you're saying this has just been started and it *won't* be out for a while, correct? Not to pin a date on it or anything but do you have any time estimates? Thanks, Judah PS IMHO I'd rather have an awesome book that takes longer than a rushed book, with errors and vague concepts. Steven Webster wrote: Arnold, Thanks for your question; if your intent is to take code and type it in verbatim as examples, you'll find lots of things won't compile from Flex 1.0 to Flex 2. However, our intent in writing the book was always to articulate concepts and principles more than code, and I hope that much of that will still be considered relevant by the community. It is our remit to update the book for Flex 2, but that effort is only just about to be undertaken. I'd suggest that the book will definitely get you off in the right direction, and I'd hope it'd be of value to you.

RE: [flexcoders] Developing RIA book
Theyre just getting started so it wont be out for a while. The book should be worth the wait , though I think you should buy every Flex book that comes out because theres no such thing as too much Flex (and I dont even get a percentage!)

RE: [flexcoders] Developing RIA book
Flex 2.0 is quite different from AS 1.5. This is an excellent book for those writing Flex 1.5 applications, but I wouldn't buy it to learn how to write a Flex 2.0 application. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of arnold_charming Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 2:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Developing RIA book Hi!
