I noticed there’s a new Flash Lite book coming out soon. Congrats to the author, JG Anderson!

Professional Flash Lite Mobile Development
Discover how to create Flash Lite mobile apps from the ground up

Adobe Flash is an ideal choice for developing rich interactive content for “Flash-enabled” mobile devices; and with this book, you’ll learn how to create unique applications with Flash Lite.

Through a series of code samples and extensive example applications, you’ll explore the core concepts, key features, and best practices of the Flash Lite player.

Coverage reveals various ways to develop Flash mobile content, create applications with a cross-platform programming framework based on the Model, View and Controller concept, and use a number of open web and device manufacturer service APIs.

• Looks at Adobe Flash Professional and Adobe Device Central, the essential tools used in developing and testing Flash mobile device content
• Explores object-oriented programming as well as the PureMVC framework
• Shares techniques for extending the capabilities of mobile devices
• Provides detailed insight into using audio, video, and images in applications
• Introduces ways to extend Flash mobile apps beyond the features of the Flash Lite Player
• Walks you through packaging and distributing complete Flash Lite mobile apps to different mobile platforms

As a fellow author with 2 prior books on Flash, I can tell you, writing a book on mobile and device development is incredibly challenging … by the time you have the book out, you’re lucky if the whole market hasn’t completely changed.

Still, I am sure that this book is going to be very useful for people who want to get into Flash Lite development. I plan on reviewing it as soon as JG Anderson can send it over.

For those interested in other books, check out: Flash on Devices and Foundation Flash Applications for Mobile Devices by Friends of ED, both of which can be picked up on amazon.
