Books
Hi
I have being heavily working on flex base mobile applications during this
year and one of the thing that i notice is most books written about flex
are 2 or 3 years old and there aren't any new books written about flex.
so i would like to suggest our dev team to think about this and compile a
book that covers latest apache flex release
Best Regards

HI,
I should be able to help out and contribute, but having just written a book I know it's a lot of work :-)

That actually isn't a bad idea. I still have some contacts at Wrox/Wiley from
when we did the Professional Adobe Flex 3 "phone book", and at one point
O'Reilly was bugging me to do a Flex 4 book (but I turned them down saying
I'll wait for Flex 5, and you can guess how that turned out... LOL).
But yeah, I think it may be time for an "Apache Flex Cookbook". I'll see if
I can set that up. Who's with me?

Hi,

As long as trace marks are respected there no issues as far as I'm aware. Anyone can write a book on Apache product X. [1]
Thanks,

As I mentioned in the users@flex.apache.org list, that's a great idea, I've
actually been thinking of doing one in the new year. I still have some contacts
at Wrox/Wiley from when we did the Professional Adobe Flex 3 "phone book", and
at one point O'Reilly was bugging me to do a Flex 4 book back in 2009 (but I
turned them down saying I'll wait for Flex 5, and you can guess how that turned
out... LOL)
So yeah, I think it may be time for an "Apache Flex Cookbook", so I'll see if I
can bend O'Reilly's ear to the idea and set that up. If O'Reilly doesn't go for
it, I am sure I can get Wrox to agree to a "Professional Apache Flex" book.
What's the protocol here from Apache's end? I've never written a book on an
apache product before, only Adobe products. (FYI, I've lead the team which wrote
Professional Adobe Flex 3 -- and wrote 1/6 of 1400 pages; tech edited a few AS3
O'Reilly & Peachpit books; contributed to few Friends of Ed books back in the day.)
Does anyone on the Apache Flex team mind if I were to write the O'Reilly "Apache
Flex Cookbook," (assuming O'Reilly accepts the proposal)? I would of course
welcome feedback from the dev team, and extensive "beta testing" will be done
prior to publication to ensure ZERO errors prior to -- but I'm getting ahead of
myself. Thanks.
