Finally, thanks to the whole haXe and Neko mailing lists for their dedication to a fantastic family of
development tools and to those who learn a little something from the words contained in this book.
I thank you . . .

Foreword
Writing a book about haXe is not an easy task. Not because there are complicated things to explain: haXe
is a new programming language. Its features are mostly coming from classic object - oriented languages
such as Java, with some having been taken from more dynamic Scripting languages, and some others
from Functional languages. This mix makes haXe a unique language, but all these features one by one
are pretty easy to explain and understand.
What makes a haXe book difficult to write is the amount of possibilities that haXe opens. By being able
to target three different platforms ??” JavaScript, Flash, and Neko ??” haXe opens a lot of doors for the
web developer. And because Neko is an extensible virtual machine, using haXe opens more doors
behind pure web development, such as real - time servers, console and desktop applications, and all the
things that a modern programming language can do.
