Flex 3 in Action – Includes 2 Free eBooks

February 13, 2009 9 comments

Most prefer the print version of a book – it’s nice to be able to sit down somewhere comfortable and read. But soft copies are equally as nice – allowing you to search for content, copy and paste code, etc…

Well with Flex 3 in Action, with each purchase not only do you (obviously) get the physical book, but you also get the PDF version of it, and you’ll get a the PDF of Flex 4 In Action when it becomes available.

Check it out at Amazon.
