Rating: - Great for starters of Flex. Not Obeject Oriented Programming.
This book is written well and explains concepts for the person that hasn't used Flex Builder before. They do not spend any time explaining good OOP practice, though. So if you have no experience in that you may want to get a reference manual for good OOP practices. Very cool book.
