Hey guys, there have been complaints about a single DVD being shipped with Digit. I'd like to make it clear that it's not because we're giving less content or anything, the two Fast Tracks and single DVD package is an ongoing pilot project we're doing for a few months. Infact this month there are two Fast Tracks and a standalone SKOAR! magazine along with Digit and a DVD, which means more content than ever in a regular issue.
We will be taking a call on whether there is more reader interest in DVDs or Fast Tracks in the next few months. We'd like your feedback, please write to editor@thinkdigit.com

This is really cunning and i did not expected this from Digit Team the july 2011 DVD carries the ADOBE flash builder logo and name when i loaded it and then searched the entire content for the software it was not there rather when i read the text it shows "BUILD A MOBILE APP IN FIVE MINUTES USING ADOBE FLASH BUILDING ARTICLE" just a pdf article.
my question is why the DVD front cover showcased it prominently making a illusion that it contains the entire software but a small PDF article ?

Does the fasttrack includes tutorials for development ? or just the basic stuff. I requested to include fastrack for iOS last month and you seriously fulfilling it.

From what I see on the cover of FT its just the basics, like how to use iBooks and Game Center n all...
IIRC iOS development fast track was already out a year or two ago :-(

Now why in the world would you require a FT on Google+ when its not even open to everyone and most of the details are there on Google plus website as well :|

Skoar needs more content . Say prices of the games and list of good games that have been released in this year . Something like that !

Mentioning Dink Smallwood made my day . What a game that is \m/ but I like the initiative of having 2 FT's and 1 DVD . ios FT is good and I havent yet read the other one . Also the magazine is pending .

Why is the July issue preview still up on the website as current issue?

Mag+2xFT+SKOAR content looks good, but the DVD content is really weak. Is there any option of only buying the magazine without the DVD?
