I have been doing Flex programming for a few years now and I have read the official Flex documentation. But I still learned new things from this book.
I only wish the final chapter about the sample application was better explained.

I have gone through several getting started with Flex 3 type books and found this to be the most complete. I found the vast majority of the code samples to work exactly as they entered in the book. I did have some issues when getting to the web service code, but it runs for the most part. Over, this is a very good hands on approach to getting to learn many of the things a Flex Developer would need to know how to do.
