I bought the Kindle version to see what the book was like since it was about 1/2 the price of the paperback. It is 80% or more on project management (PM), which isn't necessarily a bad thing. What is bad is that the title implies it will teach you to use the Flash Platform. While there is some of that in there, this isn't the book for that. It basically goes through the development lifecycle of a project that the Flash Platform would be used for, describes which tools are good for what, and talks about how to manage all that. This book should have been titled "Project Management of Flash Platform Projects From Start to Finish" instead.



I haven't gone all the way through the book but the PM stuff seems pretty good and fairly well detailed. If you want to learn how to use/develop on the Flash platform, this is not the book - look for something else. This seems to be a great book if you are a one-man/woman show (or Project manager of small Flash platform group) who is building Flash projects for hire and is just getting started or needs to tighten up their game.
