  Hearsay indeed :) I can confirm we won’t be out on June 30th; we decided that for the revised edition of “Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex”, we wouldn’t aim to be first out of the blocks. Our aim with the book was to articulate best-practices, and we believe that we’ll better achieve on that aim this time around, with some field-experience of pushing Flex 2 to it’s limits and beyond. I’ll blog more when we have a little more detail to share. I look forward to seeing what our other colleagues in the Flex community have to share with the community in the meantime ! It’s a great sign of the growth of the community !

  Good to hear from you Steven, we’ll be looking forward to the book. And the community is really going to grow its cool to be a part of it.

  So, is Colin Moock only working on a pocket reference? I though he was working on the big successor of his previous books.

  Renaun,

  Great post!

  Though not books, John Olson recently tipped me off on the following two great titles in Lynda.com’s online training library:

  Hey, we forgot to include getting the printed copies of the Flex 2 doc set! It can now be purchased for $50 online at:
  https://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/index.cfm?category=/Applications/FlexwithCharting&NR=0#view=ols_prod&categoryOID=1579184

  Surely a must have for any serious Flex 2 developer ;-)

  Greg, now that you bring that doc’s up, there is also a Flex 2 API poster available by RocketBoot in AU
