How soon can you learn Adobe Flex 3? With this book's unique hands-on approach, you will be able to tinker with examples right away, and create your own Rich Internet Applications with Flex within the first few chapters. As you progress, you learn how to build a layout, add interactivity, work with data, and deploy your applications to either the Web or the desktop. "Learning Flex 3" offers step-by-step instructions that are clear and concise, along with tips and tricks that author Alaric Cole has gathered after years of using Flex and teaching it to fellow developers at Yahoo! You'll understand how Flex works, how to use the MXML markup language and work with ActionScript, how to deploy RIA's to the desktop using Adobe AIR, and much more.Whether you're a beginner, or an experienced web developer coming to Flex from another platform, "Learning Flex 3" is the ideal way to learn how to: set up your environment with FlexBuilder and Eclipse; create a new Flex project; use the different design views in Flex; write code with MXML; lay out your Flex application; embed images and graphics; build a user interface; add interactivity with ActionScript; handle user input; move, display, and collect data; add custom components with MXML; add sound effects, filters, and transitions; style your applications with CSS, skins, and themes; and, deploy applications to the Web, or to the desktop using Adobe AIR. Also included are brief explanations of objects, classes, components, properties, methods, types, and other Flex attributes. You will find that "Learning Flex 3" is not only the most complete tutorial for Flex, it's also the quickest way to get going with the latest version of this powerful framework.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 19 Aug 2009
Great book for people who are new to flex. Doesnt go too in depth but that's not it's aim. Starts with the basics and explains them well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for beginners who aren't Dummies., 27 Jun 2009
By Michael Nieuwenhuizen (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had to learn Flex in a week for my work, and first picked up Flex 3 Bible but it was very messy. Then I found this one, and suddenly I saw the light. This book is detailed enough without trying to cover everything (like the 900+ pages of the Flex 3 Bible), and the text reads well.

I've got a lot of experience with Flash. ActionScript and XML, which helps, but I think that a beginner could easily follow everything explained in this book. A perfect way to learn about Flex.
