4.0 out of 5 stars Good review, February 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Certified Macromedia Flash MX Developer Study Guide (Paperback)

This book was a good review of the basics and definitely one you should pick up if you need a quick review. That is, of course, what it was intended to be.

It doesn't have a lot of high-end coverage, however, so if you're looking for that type of review, this book isn't the absolute best source.

In any case, it's worth it!

@mike: This book is on shelves, I read it for a couple of weeks !!

Like cover says, it's a good collection of what has to be known to pass dev certification. Of course, first quarter is childish for a programmer but is well written and crystal-clear for a novice. But quickly we realize that there's a lot to know and to know well.
Do not mistake in considering questions on this book as like-certification questions. It just remind you the chapter content.That's all !

A very good invest as a handy summary; but no miracle; beginners won't go far with it only (you won't be able to avoid Moock's and Hall's references and...practice of course ;-)

2.0 out of 5 stars Good training, however inappropriate study guide., April 12, 2004

This review is from: Certified Macromedia Flash MX Developer Study Guide (Paperback)

I recently took my Developer test and failed. :( I have been designing and programming in Flash for close to 2 years now, and while I found this book to be a great source for overall A.S. training, it really didn't prep me for the exam. There was very little in the book that actually reflected the level or detail the exam demanded. Understanding Macromedia has since changed the exam after this book was published, I still wish there was a way the publishers of this book could offer provide its owners some materials on the updated exam and its new expectations.
