Ultimate AIR Book Library from O’Reilly

June 12th, 2007 by Mike Chambers

I just received an email from O’Reilly, one of the partners on the tour, letting us know that they will be providing (what I like to call) the ultimate AIR developer’s book bundle. Here is what they is included:

We will be giving away 5 of these bundles at all of the events, and will probably provide them to the best developer demos, code, apps at each event (although we are open to any other ideas).

Of course, everyone will receive O’Reilly’s newest Adobe Integrated Runtime Book which is focused on building applications with HTML and JavaScript. Ill post more on that once we “officially” announce the book.

    Here’s a list I compiled that is comprised of all of the most common and up-to-date books that are relevant to Flex/Flash/Air. They are only on this list if I have heard a review straight from the mouth of a well-known developer/designer. This is the absolute elitist list. Can anyone debate these?

    The developers of “the best developer demos, code, apps at each event” will probably already own these books!

    Figuring out how to carry all those home would be a good problem to have though. That’s probably 50lb of knowledge right there.

    See you in Seattle!

    I could have SWORN I put it on there but I found it on another list of mine. It’s on there now! Thanks pan69!

    Give books to youngest developers at these events. There are 16-17 year olds doing Flex dev now. And I doubt that a lot of them have money to buy such a nice bunch of books on their own.

    Is that “everyone” who attends the events?

    Yes. Everyone who attends will receive the book. If you can’t make it, you will be able to either buy it from Amazon, or download the pdf from the Adobe website (we are releasing the book under a creative commons license).

    Hope that helps…

    I was pretty bummed to find out that my copy of Essential Actionscript 3.0 got pushed back to August 30th! I did some searching and everyone is sold out! The tour will be over halfway complete by then. Mr, O’Reilly, can you fire up the printing press please?! Apparently there are a lot more copies desired than anticipated. What is a developer to do?

    What would really be nice is if all of the guys on the tour listed their own ultimate AIR Developer bundles. Or breaking it down by subject (i.e. HTML, CSS, Flex, AS3, PDF, etc.)

    Speaking of which, what are the best book references for the technologies mentioned for the RC of AIR and it’s associateed technologies? Such as developing for the PDF Platform, SOAP, XML-RPC, REST, Coldfusion, and SQL Lite? I can’t seem to find go-to developer’s reference for any of these like an EAS2 for Flash. Help me out here guys!
