An excellent Flex book full of great real life solutions [Posted on 2008-06-10]
I just got this book and am using it already in my projects. Great source of real life solutions, very enjoyable to read. Highly recommended!

Excellent Resource [Posted on 2008-06-14]
The Flex 3 Cookbook is an amazing resource, and it should be found in the library of any Flex developer. Its solution based training provides motivation for completing projects while filling in potential gaps of knowledge. Not the definitive book, but an excellent resource.

Good but not much new - No charting [Posted on 2008-07-03]
I was hoping for more than just the trivial examples that you can get anywhere. There are a few, but not nearly enough. No charting examples at all. Its clear that this compilation of ideas was created ad hoc and not well thought out. Even so, it has saved me some time here and there.

You've Got Questions, Here are the Answers [Posted on 2008-07-09]
In my progression as a budding Flex developer I have reached the point where I'm passed the "getting started" tutorials but still not a master of anything with the language. My questions have from general concepts to the much more specific. This book is perfectly tailored to provide the answers I needed.

The format of the publication is set up nicely as it states a problem and then explains a solution. The way I usually judge a book's worth is to attack it with a specific question in mind, and then see how well it helps me solve the problem. The Flex 3 Cookbook passed with flying colors.

I needed some help wrapping my mind around manipulating data in an ArrayCollection. Section 13.1 called 'Add, Sort, and Retrieve Data from an ArrayCollection' guided me to a much better understanding of ArrayCollections. My question was answered, although there was a typo in the example code, hence the 4-star rating rather than 5.
