Summary: Flash Enabled = Flash for Everyone
Review: This is truly one of the few books on the market that looks at Flash from various perspectives and nails it. The contributors to this book keep the chapters focused, provide examples in context and realize that most folks out there aren't "code" geeks; there are both creative designers and innovative developers. The number of devices and platforms commented on and "tips and notes" are great.You might ask "Where is the CD in the back of the book?", well better than that they have a website for the book and the list of useful URL's in the back of the book is awesome and helps everyone grow their skills when it comes to developing for these evolving platforms. As a Macromedia evangelist I recommend a select few books to the customers and end-users this is one of them.

Summary: This book made us money - what more can we say?
Review: This might not be the sort of application the authors envisioned, but the book certainly helped us! We run a small online casino off the coast of Britain, TheGoldCasino (dot-com), and our development staff is fairly sparse (we're aimed primarily at users of e-gold, so we're not a big operation). We wanted to experiment with mobile games, but we assumed the cost would be prohibitive. Flash Enabled brought our current Flash developers from a state of knowing nothing about the PocketPC to having functional Flash-client prototypes in a shockingly short period of time! I don't know of higher praise for a book like this than: "It changed our business and made us money". Obviously, it's not yet clear how large the universe of PocketPC gamers with e-gold accounts will be, but this book at least compressed our development time to the point where it is quite easy for our mobile games to be profitable. Great stuff!

Summary: I'm Flash Enabled
Review: Wow .. a real who's who of the Flash world, gathered together to put pen to paper. For a long time I've wanted to sit and share a coffee with these guys, well now I can via this book. There is SO much information in here that I'm going to have to read it again. Flash has always been a successful product, most people know this for the web, well this book shows you how to take flash to other devices, Pocket PC, WinCE, XBox, PS2, Cell Phones, Kiosks, ATM, HDTV, PDA and more. Full of pictures, code examples, a site dedicated to the book. I'd recommend this book for ANY flash designer. They talk about optimisation, Pixel Fonts, good design practises and more. Very well written, very easy to follow, and exciting...I found myself getting to the end of it and itching to start developing these things....
