At 1177 pages, The Flash MX 2004 Bible is longer than the bibles of some religions…the difference is that no one has ever gone to war over it…although give it a thousand years or so and who knows…
In the meantime, all you need to know is that when it comes to learning and using Flash, as well as having a comprehensive source of reference on hand, this book is definitive. That said, it’s not the easiest read in the world…and not just because you need to be in training to be able to lift the thing…which is heavier than a sandwich from a Jewish deli…
Firstly…and secondly…and thirdly…and fourthly…it keeps repeating itself…much like a sandwich from a Jewish deli…in fact if you cut out all of the repetition and changed the layout, this book would be both shorter and more effective. Fifthly…just like my mother, it keeps telling me what it is that it is going to tell me…just tell me already! Less is more…unless we’re talking about sex, money and sandwiches from Jewish delis…
Nevertheless, if you read this book from cover to cover, you will know more about Flash than almost everyone except for the authors, who clearly know Flash inside out and who have been working with, writing about and teaching Flash since the end of the nineties. You will also have a bonus CD Rom containing trial software, add-ons, plug-ins and special files. Like I said…it’s definitive!
