Hello Mike,

Great contribution again to the community.
You are one of these persons I really admire.
Your contributions are endless, from those u did in Flash generator, to your documentation tool “Flash Resource Manager”, to MNXA and now free books.
I am really amazed. I am glad the Flash community has someone like you.

Grats again.

@Thinking of getting other authors involved to write other mini-books/deep dives?

Yes. I am definitely open to having other authors contribute books and / or chapters.

The idea of doing a book with videos is something I have been playing around with, and I think would work out really well.

Mike, great idea! Open source RIA books. :-) I love it.

Thinking of getting other authors involved to write other mini-books/deep dives?

One thing that might be cool:
- Pick a few chapters and make a video of you stepping through it. Kind of like a related content type thing for those who may not get it by reading.

Anyways…keep it up. Love it.
