The book “RIA with Adobe Flex and Java ” is written. Check out the book site. Do you know why we are smiling? Because the book writing is over! It took us longer than planned because we had to work for a living, and the time for writing this book was just stolen from our families and our sleep.

The book is about 650 pages, and here ‘s the brief TOC:

Foreword by Bruce Eckel

Foreword by Matt Chotin

Chapter 1. Architecture of RIA

Chapter 2. Introduction to Flex Framework

Chapter 3. Flex Builder Development Environment

Chapter 4. Learning Flex Through Applications

Chapter 5. A Complete Application with RPC Communications

Chapter 6. End-to-End Rapid Application Development

Chapter 7. How to write your own data services

Chapter 8. Enhancing and Extending Flex Controls

Chapter 9. Trees with Dynamic Data Population

Chapter 10. Working with Large Applications

Chapter 11. Data-Driven Approach To Flex Programming

Chapter 12. Application logging and debugging

Chapter 13. Building a SlideShow Application

Chapter 14. Developing Custom Charts

Chapter 15. Integration With External Applications

The book should be printed in February 2007. Most of the book is a heavy duty stuff that will be useful for any real-world Flex developer. The first four chapters go easy on you, but then we start going deep under the Flex 2 skin. We are sure that this book is going to be useful for any Flex practitioner. We hope that this book will be appreciated by Java developers, even though a reader with any object-oriented background will be able to use it.

This was my fourth book. And it ‘s the fourth time when I say, “Never again “. Let ‘s see if I ‘ll be able to keep the promise this time.
