The book covers several topics from the scratch and teaches not only the foundations but also some best practices and things to avoid, the topics are the following (generalized):

  • Packages, classes, interfaces, functions and methods
  • Language’s operators, variables, array and loops
  • Animations
  • Vector and Bitmap graphic
  • Events and event handling
  • XML (read, create, manipulate)
  • Flash security
  • OOP concepts (Inheritance, polymorphism and more)
  • Garbage collection
  • a Flex hint

Vote: 5/5

I would like to thanks Mike Potter, for the gift. I’ve appreciated it very much, and I hope to enter in the active Actionscript/Flex community as soon as possible.
