This book is not for absolute beginners. I have some basic Java, have played around with Javascript and Lingo back in the day. I found it was perfect for me -- walking me through Javascript via an example.


Is it definitive - not sure yet. Is it essential - yes, if you're new to ActionScript. Is it for people completely new to programming? Absolutely not.


There are also some minor technical errata which make it a little frustrating to implement the code examples.


No book is perfect. This book is good.

"This book is so good and so needed for Flash CS3 and Flex Builder - Adobe should consider including a half-price discount voucher on the book when people register their products."
