Programmin Flex 2 pre-review
May 6th, 2007
I have been reading O’Reilly’s new book Programming Flex 2: The comprehensive guide to creating rich media applications with Adobe Flex. I’m enjoying it, I’m trying for this to be the first programming book I read cover cover and don’t just read the first 2 chapters and then act like I know what I’m doing. After 5 days I’m on chapter 8/19.
I like the book it reads well and is not confusing at all. When the book finally came in my Barnes and Noble, after a month and a half delay, this past Tuesday; I was hesitant to us my gift card on a book that may tell me the same stuff I can find on Adobe’s quick start pages. I thought I really want to learn Flex. No just from a going through the motions sence but know when, why and where I’m using components or Flex all together. The only way know to that is reading, not copy and pasting. The book has already given me some ideas for an Apollo app for work. I’m now realizing what Flex if for.
I’ll post when I finish it to give a final review.
