Title: Too Abstract, Too Soon
Review: This book was written from the point of view of an advanced Actionscript coders' list administrator, who does a right lousy job of taking an intermediate AS coder from zero knowledge of OOP to 100% in 20 pages. The writing is too full of weak coding analogies based on irrelevant stories from the author's past; it fails to provide concrete examples that would give form to the abstract principles of Object Oriented Programming. In short, it fails.The book will suit you best if you've trolled the Flashcoders list for the past few years, but for many more of us, the leap from 0-250 mph is far too jarring. As an OOP resource, this book is fine ... but an instructional book it ain't.
