Last week, the blogs were abuzz with news of the very successful launch of “Programming Flex 2.0” by Joey Lott and Chafic Kazoun. It even caught Tim O’Reilly’s attention! Not only did Flex dominate the weekly stats, but it made a strong showing in the quarterly charts, as detailed in a series of reports on the state of the computer book market at O’Reilly.

There was some question whether preorders had skewed the numbers for this particular book, but it’s been over a week now, and it’s still in the top 5 on Amazon. Also worth noting: last year’s “ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook” by Joey Lott, Darron Schall and Keith Peters is still (or again?) in the top 15.

Luckily for us, both Joey and Chafic have already been confirmed as speakers at Flashforward2007 Boston! (Joey also has a very popular video training on AS3 in FlexBuilder for the lynda.com Online Training Library.) So be sure to come and congratulate them in person!

(Thanks to Tim, Ted, Ryan, JD and Kevin.)
