Professional Flex 3

Professional Flex 3

Authors from left to right: Joseph BaldersonAndrew TriceJun HeiderDavid HassounTodd PrekaskiJoe BerkovitzTom Sugden, [Peter Ent not present], plus five tech editors: Matthew Fabb, Charles Bihis, Campbell Anderson (meeee :) , Greg Jastrab and Douglas Knudsen

Im some of my little free time over the last year I helped out technical editing on the book above. Professional Flex 3. I have read many flex books in my career, some good in some areas some in others. This book has it all. If you click the image above you can visit the Amazon page and read the first review by Alan. It sums this book up really well.

“Generally, something that does many things well, doesn’t do any one thing great….
This book does many things great.

How did the publisher do this? Well, by making the book 1300 pages and having 8 authors. I think of this book not as ‘one big book’ but more as a few smaller ones put together. ”

I like to think I know the flex framework pretty well, having worked with it solid the last few years, but even this book had points I hadn’t bothered to explore. So to all involved, well done!

And to make things even better I have a free copy to give away. I can send pretty much anywhere in the world, but some places might take a while to see the book delivered from NZ (hate to think of the miles this book will have done in the end).

So to win:

If you win you must write a review, either on you blog or Amazon. Good bad or indifferent I don’t mind.

Leave a comment below (obviously providing your email in the form), and I will get my chinchilla to draw the winner. The winner will be announced next week Friday NZT

And if you dont win, I would still seriously consider buying a copy. I dont get paid for it, so Im not doing a sales job on you. I just think that if your at this blog, you must have some interest in flex :)

UPDATE: Congratulations Thom Theriault  He was drawn as the winner here.
