After working with Packt Publishing on their Papervision 3D Essentials book, I was very happy to be invited to work as technical reviewer on their latest book WordPress and Flash 10.x. The book follows the familiar “cookbook” format, with recipes for combining rich Flash features with the WordPress blogging platform.

The book’s authors, Peter Spannagle and Sarah Soward have made it easy for beginners to get started with a run-down of Flash-based plugins that can be embedded in a WordPress-driven site, and goes on to introduce how to create custom Flash components and use them to add richness and multimedia. The book also includes an introduction to Flash timeline animation and explains how to create custom themes for WordPress.

My role as technical reviewer was to check the code samples and correctness of the technical information as well advising on the scope of the book’s content. The book is available now from Packt or from Amazon.
