Excellent bookDec 12, 2009
I know Flash well but Flex only a bit. This book covers everything one needs to know in a manner easily understandable. As for all these books it is recommended to have a basic knowledge of Actionscript 3.
Always Refering Back for More InformationNov 24, 2009
This very thorough book on Flex 3 has almost everything you want, when it doesn't you are going to the documentation from Adobe. But when I am looking for something I don't know or understand this is the first book I pick up and start looking in.

Very well writtenOct 21, 2009
Today I finished this book, so now I can write the review I wanted to write after reading only a few chapters. Because early on, the reader begins to sense that this book is very well written. The author takes great care to cover all the relevant material, including a lot of interesting things you just won't pick up automatically by "just doing it". Here are my high points:
1) The writing is top notch--both in terms of grammar and conciseness, plus a seemingly sincere care for educating the reader. And virtually no typo's.
2) The book isn't bloated by excessive code listings. Instead, just a few lines of code or a very small complete code example gets the job done.
3) The coverage is very good.
The main thing I think we all want in a technical book of this size is at least some assurance that it's not going to be a waste of our time. I feel confident in giving you that assurance about this book. Admittedly, for me it's a relief to be done reading it, but I'm very glad I did.

 Good overview of FlexMay 28, 2009
I do professional Flex Development, and have a penchant for accumulating multiple books for subjects that interest me. I found this book to be a good overview of Flex. It adequately covers all the various aspects of Flex development, and even has coverage of using various back-ends for Flex.
I would recommend it for beginning to Intermediate Flex users as a good addition to their library's.
Concise and clearMay 14, 2009
I just started reading this book, it explains the topics clearly, a good book , very well writed, worth it's price.
