Flash 8 Essentials Book

Over the past couple of months ive been busy churning out words about Flash 8. Part of my writing duties which are still ongoing (more news soon) include a couple of chapters for a Flash 8 Book conveniently titled “Flash 8 Essentials”. The book will be published in November by friendsofed and its aimed at already competent Flash Developers & Designers that want to get up to speed with the generous new feature set that Flash 8 provides.

I have contributed a chapter on the various new Speed Improvements in the Flash Player and another chapter that will bring you up to scratch with the monster that is the new BitmapData api. Matt Voerman, Craig Swann & Glen Rhodes, all veteran authors have also written numerous chapters for the book and my buddy Tink and Todd Yard have also written some great chapters for it. Exciting times!
