Title: Flash MX Application Design and Development by Jessica Speigel ISBN: 0-7357-1242-5 Publisher: New Riders Pub. Date: 24 July, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $45.00 |

Summary: If I could give it zero stars I would
Comment: I can only believe that those who gave this book more than 2 stars either know the author or work for the publishing company. How could one possibly give a book that contains no less than 5 errors on the first page of coding a passing grade?
In my mind this book epitomizes the whole tech boom - "quick, let's get it out there while the technology is hot and then fix it later".
Thank goodness it's out of print and no longer for sale here. It's so bad that I felt compelled to review it still for those who may find it on another site. Jessica Spiegel is undoubtedly a great programmer but an awful teacher, and New Rider's - shame on you!
Unless you want hours and hours of frustration avoid it like the plague!

Summary: I returned it!
Comment: I was left scratching my head after the first chapter. The screenshots do not even match up with the text on the same page! The author, reviewers (if there were any), publishers and editors should be ashamed. I've never seen a book that was so unsuitable for publication. I hope the author will review her work in the future.

Summary: Badly Organized Book
Comment: This book is definitely NOT for beginner. I am not sure if it is for advanced user either. Step-by-step instructions are not exactly clear. Author never really explain why she do thing the way she does. So, I alway feel like I am blindly following her instructions. The worst part is that she put the instructions on one page and then put the samples of Actionscript on 3 pages later. So, I always have to flip the page back and forward. VERY VERY irritating! I am often too lazy to write a book review, but this book is just so bad that I have to write my first one. I STRONGLY suggest people NOT to buy this book. You probably will learn more by going to the Macromedia Flash developer site than spending [money] on this truly badly organized book.
