Agree with your comment about ‘Essential Guide to Flex 3′. While it was an enjoyable read I came away knowing very little – certainly not enough to build my own application. Also coverage of ColdFusion is really poor; no mention of the RemoteObject tag – or any tag for that matter – it just guides you through the wizard.

@cease
I totally agree, the bulk of these books read like an annotated API guide. Java books were like this in the early days.

@Jeremy
I’d love to review it, but my book buying budget is pretty empty now :-)
From the table of contents and index, it does look more complete than most.

I am surprised that “Adobe Flex 3: Training from the Source” wasn’t included in your list. I would place it in the “good” category.

Although I haven’t read all of these, I have read a lot of them, still looking for a very good flex book. The problem with most of them is all they do is cover the components available for 90% of the book, and look very little into whats going on underneath. I will have to check out the Foundations book. Good writeup thanks
