How to build an entire site/application using offline Genera

A complete how to book, from start to finish. Walks the reader through every aspect from design to datasource to the code linking the two together and lots more. It is based upon a real world site/application, which in my opinion increases its value and merit. It's a book for anyone of any skill level & will have at least one thing that will make owning the book worth every penny.Considering the lack of material available on Generator at the present moment, this may prove to be the best book on the topic for some time. And once again, since it's based entirely in offline Generator, it appeals to any flavor of Generator, Developer or Enterprise. In fact, you may never have a need for online Generator, after reading this book.Wait no longer, get the book, and open up new worlds for your customers, employers, or just for yourself. :)

Impressed

With the publication of Generator/Flash Web Development, the technology world has found a new bible. From conception to completion, this book will take projects to new heights. I feel the book is a great learning tool (and interesting enough to keep even the neophyte's attention). The fourth chapter, Building the Template, proved to be most helpful. The care and precision taken by the authors is extensive. The knowledge demonstrated by Alvarez, Taylor, and Groch is vast, as are the possibilities that this book will open.

Excellent Process Management!!

Great book if you already have an understanding of Flash as a tool. ------ Excellent book if you need to sell a Generator project to a client! It loads you down with a process that everyone from the designers, developers, and marketing folks can use to build on.I recommend it for any design shop that needs a quick start with their overall Flash production and method. BTW: The CD is loaded with the entire ASP, Generator, and Flash source files used for the web site along with some really nice software.

Flash Forward

At last, a couple of guys who knows the way developers and designers think comes up with a how-to that gets it right, right out of the box. You'll find this handy for all situations in the development process. It's easy to understand and the examples are great. Sounds like Alvarez & Taylor have got a future as industry gurus and not just Flash in the pans. My advice? Click through and buy this book now.

It's About time!

I have been trying to undersand how to integrate Generator with a backend language for some time now (just so you know, I am not a developer). After waiting so long I have a guide to help me.With it being the first book and seeing how long generator has been out, I thought there would be more in the Template chapter. However, the detail about optimizing and organizing really shines.The source code is well worth purchasing the book. I've ordered 3 more copies for my office.
