The AIR Cookbook - Technical Editors Needed

June 5, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (0)

Just as the Flex cookbook gave the community a great way to get involved with an O'Reilly book, the Adobe AIR Cookbook will give just as many opportunities. Over the next weeks I will be giving all of you many ways that you can get involved with this book. Right now, we are looking for technical editors.

As a technical editor, you will evaluate the chapter once the author completes it to ensure that the code samples work correctly and that the technical exposition is accurate. The technical editors are essential to any technical book - and you will get your name listed in the inside of the book with the other technical editors. You will need to be comfortable with testing both ActionScript and JavaScript AIR sample code that will be provided by the authors.

UPDATE: Thanks to all who submitted their name for consideration. We have received quite a large response. If additional information is needed from you, you will be contacted directly.
