Rating:  Summary: 4 & 1/2 stars, really. Review: This book is excellent for learning Fireworks. The chapters are walk-through lessons that take you step-by-step through each skill. The exercises have enough repetition to enable you to become fairly competent. The book is much more readable than most other technical books. I have a 4 year in Computer Info Systems, but this book was not "beneath" me. The only complaint that I have is that a few as the exercises didn't work exactly as instructed. With my background, I was able to figure out how things actually worked, so it wasn't a significant problem. Others, with less computer experience, may get a bit more frustrated.I liked the book so well, I have bought this publisher's books for JavaScript and Flash. I'm hoping they will be as easy to go through and I'll be developing training systems on the web in no time!
