The Opposite of Flash?:

Positives:
- Simple examples, "baby's first Adobe app" type of stuff.
- Plenty of focus on the Flash UI; you'll know what all the important knobs and dials are for.
- Interesting sidebars explaining complex topics like registration vs. transformation points.
Cons:
- Simple examples. If you've used any Adobe app, you'll be yawning for the first 6 "hours".
- The more lengthy examples are difficult to follow as several steps are combined into one step. E.g. "3) Do X, Y, Z, A,... more info

Senior citizen (retired teacher) says book is excellent:

I am a retired senior citizen, taught high school and college some years back, owned a small software consulting company and was in the aerospace industry in the 1960's.

Purchased Phllip Kerman's book. It is pleasant to read, easy to follow yet technically pulls you right in. This is a perfect book to learn Flash CS3 Professional.... more info

Additionally, the coverage of the basic functionality of the stage, objects, and instances is very brief and not too thorough. The... more info

Very good tutorial for flash newbs:

I'm a programmer who was tasked with integrating a flash UI in to our system. Knowing absolutely nothing about flash, I picked this book up based on the reviews here, and I wasn't disappointed. I went from zero to hero, in less than the allotted 24 hours :) Though the author really does start from the basics, the exercises are well though out and the steps were correct (unlike the abysmal tutorials that Flash ships with!) He also goes in to good detail about the theory of what you're doing, which was nice.... more info
