What's the most popular Flex or ActionScript book?
At the end of every month there are a number of stats that I like to track, to try and gauge how well we're doing at spreading the word about Adobe technologies, mainly Flex and LiveCycle. One of the items that I started tracking last month was the Amazon book ranking for a number of Flex and ActionScript 3 books. I figure if the books are increasing in popularity, then the technology must be heading in the right direction. O'Reilly does something similar.
There are 8 books that I'm currently tracking from Amazon.com. In order of popularity, they are:
ActionScript 3 Cookbook
Advanced AS 3 with Design Patterns
Adobe Flex 2: Training from the source
Programming Flex 2: The comprehensive guide to creating Rich Internet Applications
AS 3 Pocket Reference
The complete guide to Flex 2 with AS 3
AS 3 Essential Training
Learning AS 3 Design: The non programmers guide to AS 3
I haven't read any of them, but I've heard very good things about the Advanced ActionScript 3 with Design Patterns book from other Flex developers.
Comments
I'm not sure that the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook qualifies as a "Flex 2.0 book". It's a useful book but I was dissapointed when I purchased it to find that it only covers the Flash Class Library and doesn't mention the Flex Class Library.
