Follow the recipe then taste it !

This is my first book review, but I think that the better way to begin is to start with the subject that interests me most.

It's about 2 years I'm using haXe. I'm not a beginner but I have constantly a lot of stuff to learn.

haXe is a powerful language which provides many features, and gives a tool to create websites, and applications to developers . Thanks to its cross-platform features, it brings ease to target different platforms using a single unified programming language.

In this book, Benjamin Dasnois made a great job of introducing the specifics of the language.

The book is really easy to read, and at first sight. However, I was surprised to learn stuff I never tried to do before, and to reinforce my knowledges in some area like how different applications can communicate between each other (Chapter 7 : Communication between haXe programs).

Chapters of the book are cleverly well structured.

The "Time for action" heading followed by the "What just happened ?" make this book so enjoyable to read.

Like a recipe, you just have to follow instructions and then you can ta(e)ste it. The second heading gives clear explanations about how tasks or instructions work.

The only negative for this book to me is that C++ which is a haXe target that I haven't experimented yet, isn't covered, so I expected to read some stuff about it.

If you're looking for a comprehensive introduction to what haXe is all about, or if you're a beginner or an intermediate haXe developer who want to fill gaps in your knowledge, I really would recommend buying this book.

Anyway, subscribe to the haXe mailing list and stay tuned for all the new features the language is offering.
