As I mentioned in the us...@flex.apache.org list, that's a great idea, I've actually been thinking of doing one in the new year. I still have some contacts at Wrox/Wiley from when we did the Professional Adobe Flex 3 "phone book", and at one point O'Reilly was bugging me to do a Flex 4 book back in 2009 (but I turned them down saying I'll wait for Flex 5, and you can guess how that turned out... LOL)
So yeah, I think it may be time for an "Apache Flex Cookbook", so I'll see if I can bend O'Reilly's ear to the idea and set that up. If O'Reilly doesn't go for it, I am sure I can get Wrox to agree to a "Professional Apache Flex" book. What's the protocol here from Apache's end? I've never written a book on an apache product before, only Adobe products. (FYI, I've lead the team which wrote Professional Adobe Flex 3 -- and wrote 1/6 of 1400 pages; tech edited a few AS3 O'Reilly & Peachpit books; contributed to few Friends of Ed books back in the day.) Does anyone on the Apache Flex team mind if I were to write the O'Reilly "Apache Flex Cookbook," (assuming O'Reilly accepts the proposal)? I would of course welcome feedback from the dev team, and extensive "beta testing" will be done prior to publication to ensure ZERO errors prior to -- but I'm getting ahead of myself. Thanks. _______________________________________________________________________ Joseph Balderson, Flex & Flash Platform Developer :: http://joeflash.ca Author, Professional Flex 3 :: http://tinyurl.com/proflex3book Sumudu Chinthaka wrote: > Hi > > I have being heavily working on flex base mobile applications during this > year and one of the thing that i notice is most books written about flex > are 2 or 3 years old and there aren't any new books written about flex. > > so i would like to suggest our dev team to think about this and compile a > book that covers latest apache flex release > > Best Regards >
