Adobe Labs has released a free Apollo book,

Apollo:Books:Apollo for Adobe Flex Developers Pocket Guide

This book clocks in at 108 pages and considering the price (again, free), it is something you should pick up if you are going to start playing with Apollo. It even has a mini-Cookbook, which I'm a big fan of.

Everybody's blogging about the book, but the link on the labs doesn't work (at least for me).
I've read all the blog entries about it, but only found one comment about the link not working.
What's going on?
Is it me or nobody even cared about downloading the book?

I had no problems viewing the PDF from both my mac or PC. Here is the direct link to the PDF:

Hm, maybe it used to work? But for me it's also a 404.

No problems here! Just downloaded the book. Thanks for the tip!

Sinister!
So it's indeed working for the rest of the world.
I still get 404 Not Found. Both on Firefox and IE...

I'll assume that this book uses Flex 2 right?

Finally!
I was able to download the pdf at my mother's!
I have no idea why I can't do it here...

Is LylaCaptcha case sensitive?
I've had a lot of trouble getting the right text... And some of the characters, (although easy to read) are hard to distinguish. L, I, 1, 0, O, ... And if it's case sensitive, it gets harder!

It isn't case sensitive - but sometimes the characters are a bit hard to read. Not much I can do there. Consider it a necessary evil.

necessary evil because of... evil

I have no idea how LylaCaptcha is generated, but, when I create a random code, an activation code for example, I remove easily confusing characters from the possibilities.
