This is our first full-length book writing experience, and I&#8217;m both excited and nervous to take on the project. As things progress I&#8217;ll try to document the writing process here on my blog a bit. The book will be a beginner&#8217;s guide to learning Flex, and we hope it will fill an important gap in the currently available learning resources.
