2.0 out of 5 stars Not very good, 7 Jul 2008
By Mr. J. A. Smith "zz.james" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm afraid I don't think this book is very good. Although it often goes into advanced topics, this is very patchy, and often there are areas with very little information. This morning I wanted to look at the details of the MXML image tag, and there was hardly a mention of any details, aside from the different syntax for embedding or loading assets - important but hardly in-depth coverage, these pages are also not indexed under the word image, which directs you to a page in the introduction with no real information on it. The index is terrible. Today's experience with this book is somewhat typical. In summary - patchy (very), missing important info and with a terrible index.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Flex 2 Programming Book, 22 April 2008
By Krzysztof Satola "adobers.org" (Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Programming Flex 2: The comprehensive guide to creating rich media applications with Adobe Flex is a great book for more advanced Flex developers. This book covers many important topics like working with UI components, advanced component concepts, working with media and data, client and remote data communication just to name the few. The authors, Chafic Kazoun and Joey Lott, are very experienced long-time Flash developers. They are well known in the Flash community, and are among the elite of the Flash development world. Chafic and Joey has been using Flex for a long time and it can be noticed by reader during reading this book which is full of practical leads.

This book is intended for anyone looking to learn more about Flex 2. The authors recognize that the audience for this book represents a very diverse group of people with many different backgrounds. In my opinion this book is a great resource but not for the beginners. Lots of original ActionScript and MXML code examples help reader to look deeper inside Flex 2 internals.

I definitely recommend this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written introduction into Flex, 27 Dec 2007
By Daniel Loran (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are new to Flex and need to do something very quick to meet the deadline, this book might not be of much use to you. This is not a reference book. After reading this book you will most certainly not know how to do everything with Flex.

Instead you will experience a very well written (although in my opinion too gentle) introduction into Flex. What can be appreciated are overall consistency, clear language and short sentences.

I'm a student of Computer Science (NL) and found examples in this book a way over simplified. What I miss in this book is real-world examples and case studies.

If you need to write a database driven Flex application that performs well in multiprocessor or possibly clustered environment you will definitely need additional books to bring you to that level.

I will still recommend this book to novices because of clarity and accessibility. This book makes something as complex as Flex look very simple and easy to use. This is however an illusion that disappears quickly once you start to develop something more complicated than a button.
