Rating:  Summary: Useful Book Review: This book has been incredibly useful in learning how to better leverage Flash in my web apps. As a bonus I was able to use the poll engine right "out of the box".
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic and Easy to Follow Examples Review: This book is chocked full of great examples. The sample code alone is a VERY usefull and worth the money that the book costs. It's for the beginning and intermediate Flash and ADO.NET person alike. It even goes into to detail about setting up your program and application delivery envoirnment. Very complete resource.The complaints I see from other reviewers shows me their limited knoweledge of Flash, .NET, and Action Scripting and it's use it the real world. I have a hard time believing any of them read this book. I believe they are here promoting their own agenda.
Rating:  Summary: Very little of Flash Review: This joke of a book is surely for people who want to use .NET. Totally agree with the reviewer who criticized this book. Not worth buying at all. There are much better books on .NET. If you are looking for Flash programming look elsewhere. This book is a waste of time and money. Most of the database work is being done by .NET and Flash is used only to make do some silly poor quality graphics. It is indeed a misnomer. Dealing with databases, Flash and .NET is certainly not the authors' cup of tea. The author needs to gain more experience in Flash/Database before attempting to write another book.
