Good books for learning Flex?

[JustinRiggs]

I've just completed the Flex in a Week training on Adobe's website, but would like to further my knowledge. Does anyone have any books they would recommend as I try to learn Flex?

I have been using Flex for 6 to 8 months now. I have used the two books listed. i am particularly found of the book by Gassner.

Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 Bible [Paperback]
David Gassner

Adobe Flex 3: Training from the Source [Paperback]
Jeff Tapper

Hope that helps!

I used Learning Flex 3 (by Alaric Cole). I thought it was easy to use and a great starter book. I bought it because I did my own research on Amazon and it seemed to be the most highly recommended. Here's the newer version of it:

Learning Flex 4: Getting Up to Speed with Rich Internet Application Design and Development (Adobe Dev Lib) - by Alaric Cole and Elijah Robison

good luck!

Thanks to both of you who answered. I'll be ordering one of each of those, and then keeping my fingers crossed that I can get up and going relatively quickly!
