Adobe Flex 3.0 For Dummies<\/a> is the only official For Dummies guide to learning Flex, and is the only truly introductory guide to get you up to speed with Flex development. The book was written by myself (Doug McCune) and Deepa Subramaniam<\/a>, an engineer on the Flex team at Adobe. We think it’s the best book ever written, so if you haven’t bought it yet, go get a copy<\/a>! If you already bought the book, thanks! You can find information about the book, such as the source code downloads here.

\nDownload the code!<\/strong>
\nWe’ve compiled all the code samples from the entire book. For each chapter we have a Flex project that you can download, or you can view the source code online. A few chapters don’t have any code samples, but all the rest are here. Typically any code that includes a dedicated code listing is reproduced here (meaning it has a heading like Listing 5-5). Sometimes some of the code listings build on one another, and we might only include the complete example. But each chapter also includes a description of which files match up with which parts of the book, so you should be able to figure it out.<\/p>\n
