Really disapointed, Mar 15 2013

First, like others, this card didn't install well since it wasn't able to find the drivers (P.S. I have an about 18 months old Dell computer with a lot of RAM and a big video card running Windows 7 Pro 64bits)...

The drivers included on the mini-disc didn't work... Finally, by looking directly on the card (do so before installing it!) and at other's review, I was able to find drivers and firmware updates by searching "NEC usb 3 driver windows 7" on Google. This card (if it's always the same) is the PD720201...

After installing everything, it detecting it well and it now works fine... But, after some testing (and rebooting to make sure), I tried to copy a more than 7Gb… Read more

Excellent for reference and beginner to intermediate AS programmers, Nov 11 2010

I use this book since Flash 8 and I really like it.

I find it complete (covers the most common topics) and has a really easy learning curve (not with technical terms as you can see in other books like the O'Reilly ones). If you want to go further, I would suggest one of O'Reilly's book, but I really recommand starting with this one if you've never programmed before (or if you're not an advanced programmer in another language).

I skipped the Flash CS4 version because it still uses AS 3.0... but I was surprised with this version how it integrates a lot of new CS5 functionalities (along with the new text engine).

Really good book!

Great reference book, Nov 11 2010

I already had the previous version (with DHTML and AJAX) and though it's a little bit sad that those parts are remove, I think it's a good move to concentrate on CSS3.

I probably won't read this book from cover to cover (though you can do so), but it's an excellent source for refence. It also clearly points what's new in CSS3, for those new to CSS and who wants to stick with CSS2 until everything is well supported.

It also includes an introduction chapter on HTML5 (and all the html code in the book is based on HTML5).

I have both the printed version and Kindle version and I'm sure gonna use them both.
