Joeflash’s Enigmacopaedia

Well, after much planning, and searching, and a few hiccups, our team line-up for the upcoming Professional Flex 3 by Wrox is finally established.

We’ve got a phenomenal team line up, consisting of Andrew Trice, Peter Ent, Joe Berkovitz, Tom Suggden, Todd Prekaski, David Hassoun, Jun Heider and myself.

We’re all very excited about this book, and the reason for so many authors is that this book aims to be the next Bible for Flex, something long overdue for such a wide-ranging and complex ecosystem of technologies, and as such it will be fairly massive and very comprehensive. Some of the advanced topics to be covered in this book will be Cairngorm, LCDS & Blaze DS, Flex Video, Advanced Flash Integration, VM1/VM2 Communication, Application Optimization, PHP/Java/.Net Integration, Automation Framework, FlexUnit, Logging Framework, Stress Testing Framework.

All I can say is, THIS IS GOING TO BE SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!! (okay, so i’ve been spiking my own kool-aid, so what?) :)

We’ve already got a fair number of volunteers to help us beta test the code for the book so that it comes out squeaky clean, but if you’ve got an advanced understanding of ActionScript and/or Flex development, and you’re interested in becoming a “beta tester” or tech reviewer for the book, drop me a line at jbdesign - at - joeflash - dot - ca.

PS: the Amazon listing for this book is incorrect, of course — jumping the gun with a photoshop job of the last title so they can pre-pre-presell the book ;)
