Title: Great resource for new FLASHers who want to learn basics of XML.
Review: After playing around with Flash for the last three years, I finally began to get serious about scripting about four months ago. Like a lot of folks, I seem to lack that little something that separates a true scripting genius from a scripting hack. Although there's always hope, my mind simply does not work that way.Unlike many code books, this one made sense to me immediately. XML is starting to look like something I can actually begin to incorporate into my projects, thanks to Sas's easy-to-read style and clear explanations and samples. It may not be the first choice for XML and Actionscript gurus, but it should be a good investment for folks who want a good intro into the subject matter. Finally, Sas's ample coverage of generating XML with MS Office seems quite appropriate, since it is the dominant office suite (for good or ill).
Is the review positive or negative?
