The Flash Webisode Production Handbook (With CD-ROM)

Rating:
Summary: Different, but still good.
Review: 50 bucks for this, I wouldn't have paid 50 bucks for this if I would have known half the book isn't about Flash. I guess that's ok, because it teaches you to build a webisode from all aspects: graphics, sounds, distribution, and gif links. However, I don't have Acid, Fireworks, or the other programs mentioned. I liked the fact that the author gives you fast loading games (actionscrit) to play as your epic webisode is loading. Some nice touches. The cd is good, but for 50 dollars, I wish there were more about Flash.

Review: I really enjoyed this book. I love the book samples. The author not only knows flash, but his samples are excellent artistically. This book is definitely a good buy for anyone wanting to learn how to animate/create content using flash.

Summary: Flash AND Acid how to info
Review: I really like the fact that this book covers more than just one product. It covers ACID pretty well. some of the samples are funny. The cd-rom has plenty of software and samples (much better than most of the other computer books I've recently purchased). I really liked chapter 18. This is a good book if you have some time to really pick apart the samples. The first three chapters start off slow but the book really picks up the pace towards the end.

Summary: Gives you the whole picture...
Review: I really liked this book/cd-rom. This book not only gives you the nuts and bolts of how to make flash content, it also gives you some basic internet trend information ( how many narrowband users vs. broadband users...). This information helped me pitch my flash content to my department head! The cd-rom has some good samples and software. The loop section is very cool.

Summary: Good animation book for Flash users...
Review: Nice book for anyone wanting to create/develop animation.
This book covers everything using step by step tutorials.
This is not a beginner book because it hits the ground running! Covers Fireworks and ACID also. The CD samples are great. The only thing I did not like about this book was the first two chapters. These chapters are not really needed ( just basic info on what a webisode is and fact and figureson internet usage...). The rest of the book is very useful. The CD is worth the purchase alone!

Summary: Old School
Review: This book is so outdated and basic. The pictures & examples are quite rudimentary. For a better value check out The Flash Animator.
