Advanced Actionscript 3 with Design Patterns
Joey Lott, Danny Patterson
Reviewed by: Ben Gomez Farrell
This book didn't pack that much bang for me. I read it after Head First Design Patterns and the Actionscript 3.0 Cookbook. If you had never read those books, then this is a great book for you if you want to learn Design Patterns for Actionscript 3. However, if you want to learn Actionscript 3, this book is light on AS3 basics. What this book discusses, rather well in fact, is Design Patterns for Actionscript 3. For those that aren't familiar with Design Patterns - this is not a graphic arts type book. Design Patterns are a collections of philosophies oon how to code your application. This book does a good job explaining Design Patterns as they pertain to Actionscript 3. Additionally, the first chapter discusses some application development and object-oriented programming methodologies that are great to brush up on. As good as this book is, I suggest reading Head First Design Patterns if you want to learn about Design Patterns, and don't mind that it's written for Java.
