As of 6:20pm Dallas time on July 18, Colin Moock’s latest book, “Essential ActionScript 3.0” is number four on Amazon’s best-seller list. Tim O’Reilly hasn’t confirmed this on his blog yet, like he did with “Programming Flex 2″ by Chafic Kazoun and Joey Lott, but I am hearing rumors that Colin’s book may be trending towards an all-time best-seller for O’Reilly. Awesome.

This supports a trend that we’ve been seeing. Flex is hot – ActionScript 3.0 is hot, and Adobe AIR is bringing whole new crowds of web developers over to check out Flex, Flash, and ActionScript 3.0.

By the way, thanks to Colin for mentioning my name in the beginning of the book. It’s pretty cool to see your name printed in a best-selling book.

Congratulations, Colin! I know writing this book was a ton of work but it will surely be the one book that every ActionScript developer will want to have on their desks. Great work.
