This wont be a long post, mainly because I don't have much to say other than BUY THIS BOOK!! This is the FIRST O'Reilly book I have ever been able to read cover-to-cover. O'Reilly books traditionally have seems very dry, albeit the perfect technical resources, just not a "reader". This book changes that (for me anyway).

Anyone who has coded anything in AS 1 or 2 doesn't need me to tell them that Colin Moock is a bad ass and any book he writes is a must have for any Flash developer. The only thing missing from this book is a reference like the ActionScript Definitive Guide had. I know Adobe has LiveDocs (although I really wish they'd post the HTML source for them so I can host it locally like Macromedia used to do), and thats great an all, but I really like having a written reference to go to.

Other than that, I just had to get a quick post to say thanks again to Colin for a kick ass book.... and to say it again, BUY THIS BOOK!!

(fyi.. all links to the books in this post will give credit to Colin via Amazon... he deserves it!)
