Product Reviews
Our products continuously receive industry recognition for our state of the art production and quality content. Here's an excerpt of a review found on FlexLive.net about Total Training for Adobe Flex 2: Rich Internet Applications.

Want to Learn Flex 2?
Try Total Training To be completely honest, I'm still a newbie when it comes to Flex. I've been meaning to ramp up on Flex during the summer, and I was really excited when my "Total Training for Flex 2" DVD came in the mail, but I didn't have the time to even crack open the box until very recently. So last week, I finally had the time to sit down and watch the whole DVD from start to finish. For those of you who are interested, here is the course outline showing the material covered.

Having done a few video tutorials myself, I know how difficult and time consuming it is to do a short video. The Total Training DVD has about 8 hours worth of material and it's really well done. James Talbot is a very engaging speaker. He's obviously very knowledgeable of the product. I was really impressed by his emphasis on applying "good practices". He showed us little things like how to break MXML files into different components at very early on, which turned out to be very useful once you start building real-world, non-trivial applications. Speaking of real-world applications, the training videos also shows you how to build a photo organizer - a reasonably complex application. There's nothing more satisfying than building a neat little app that's actually useful.

With that being said, I don't want to mislead you into thinking that video tutorial is a faster way to learn. The whole course took me a little over a week to finish. I spent two hours every night, one hour watching the videos and one hour playing with the sample apps that came with the DVD. Now that I think about it, it took me about the same amount of time to learn C# or Python by reading books. However, I found videos are more engaging and pleasant than books. You really have to try both to see which one is better for you.

I hope my short review is helpful for those of you who are looking for good Flex training materials.
