With each purchase of the book, customers will also receive access to the PDF/eBook version, and the PDF/eBook version of the follow up book Flex 4 In Action when it becomes available.

Flex 3 In Action (FiA) is a book for programmers who come from traditional web technologies, and progressively takes them on a journey of understanding. Flex can easily be frustrating to newcomers who are used to the ease of their current language, so FiA takes an approach of leveraging your existing skills by using examples that you can relate to in your current tech vs how it's done in Flex. It gradually introduces topics on an as needed basis so that you only need to worry about learning one thing at a time. Plus various ways of doing the same thing are explained in depth so that you understand your options... and lastly, FiA makes learning Flex fun.

The book is available on Amazon.com, and other popular book outlets.
