Adobe AIR Bible

I’d like to announce something that I’ve been working on during the past month that I’ve been too busy with to announce. You might guess by the title of this post that I’m co-authoring the Adobe AIR Bible for Wiley Publishing. I’m excited to be working with Ben Gorton and Ryan Taylor, both colleagues that I met and have the pleasure of working with at Schematic. The Bible has been a lot of work so far, but so far it has been worth it. I really can’t express how excited I am to hold it in my hands and see it in bookstores, but I have several months of hard work ahead of me that I’ll be trying to survive.

I really am enjoying working with Ben and Ryan, and all the research and learning that goes into writing. Most of all I’m really enjoying the aspect of giving back to the Flash/Flex community and contributing to the learning experience of fellow developers. The book is shaping up pretty well and I hope for and look forward to it being as helpful as so many textbooks have been for myself.

We should be on the book shelves sometime in the spring of ‘08, so keep an eye out!

    very exciting! i am sort of envious of the people who will get to learn AIR from reference books that explain it nicely :-)

    Yes! I’m envious that they’ll get to read it on paper! Imagine all the time we’ve spent reading on screen! I’m looking forward to reading yours!
