I was contacted last week by Packt Publishing. They made me the following offer: I was to choose the books I wished in their catalog and then write an article for each of them.
I gave this offer much thought and finally said yes on the condition I was to be free to say what I really thought about the book. Since I’m not known for my soft stances on many subjects, I’m really looking forward to write my first article; first, to evaluate the book’s material in itself and second, to see whether Packt will really play the game.
I’m expecting the delivery of 2 books right now:

Ok, this may sound exaggerated but I’m really serious about it. Since I happened to stumble upon a PDF chapter of the Maven’s book some time back, and found very interesting plugins in it I did not know about, I have very high expectations. I also am currently writing my first Flex front-end so these two themes are dear to me.
I was asked to put free chapters for each book for download so here they are:
If you have something to say about this new orientation, please do so.
