I haven't been this jazzed about a book since The Children of Hurin came out. Yes, EAS3 has been out for a little bit now, but I haven't had a chance to pick it up until now. I liked EAS2 a lot but I use the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference for Macromedia Flash 8 a whole lot more -- since AS2 has been around for a long time now.

Colin really took his time and did it right with EAS3. Its not a reference book per se... its a great introduction to the workings of AS3. Its a thick tome, and its fairly dense so I am going to have to spend quality time with it instead of skimming. Which is great.

The book has been heavily technical peer reviewed, so I don't have to worry much at all about the integrity of the material. Thanks for such a great book Colin, I like the new approach and this book must have taken a long time and caused the burn of much energy. I appreciate it.
