For those of you that read this blog regularly (-ish), my apologies for the lack of posts last week. I’m continuing to work my way through my new book, “Effortless Flex 4 Development,” and it’s taking up all of my time. But I’m over two-thirds of the way through the book now, having just completed the second section. That’s the heart of the book, focusing on data and communications. The last third of the book will be written over the next couple of weeks. It covers “finishing touches” types of concepts, such as styling applications, effects, using popup windows, and so forth. These will be shorter chapters and involve information that you wouldn’t necessarily use on every project.
I believe the book will be published in July. The list price is about $45 (US), but you can normally get books for much cheaper than that. Amazon currently has it at $33.44. You can also read the book as I’m writing it via Safari Books Online.
Do you get to choose the cover of your books? Do you have any say in that process at all? Or is it just up to the publisher in how they market the book?
