Editorial Reviews:

Companies originally moved to adopt standards-based technologies like those underlying the Web and the Internet as a way to achieve distributed computing functionality at a very low total cost of ownership. However, such companies had to forego many of the user interface and productivity advantages that other distributed computing methods, such as traditional client/server applications, gave them. This fundamental drawback to thin clients like Web browsers let to an emerging class of vendor that offers rich client solutions that provide the optimal combination of rich, low-cost interaction through standards-based distributed computing.

Macromedia was one of the early pioneers in rich user interaction across the Internet. In 1997, they made a splash in the market with their Flash product, and as of the date of this report, over 90% of Web browsers and 500 million users are equipped with the Macromedia Flash player. Continuing this legacy, Macromedia has introduced its Flex product that leverages Flash to provide rich client capabilities over standards-based, loosely coupled distributed computing infrastructures.

1 out of 5 stars BEWARE!

I am a software developer needing to learn Macromedia Flex, and the sparse availability of reading/learning documentation led me to download this eBook.

This is nothing more than a 6-page Adobe PDF document. Out of these 6 pages, only 2 to 3 pages give an overview about Macromedia Flex, and the rest are impertinent. I do not understand why this eBook is on sale. It clearly is either a book that's a work-in-progress (where the author has only finished the overview section), or the author has less than honorable intentions.

Let me save you the trouble. The way it is, DON'T BUY! As for me, I am in the process of procuring a refund from this mistake.
