Review: (...) My only complaint is the index--it would be better to include a magnifying glass rather than a CD so that the index would be usable. The publisher should have spent the extra penny and made the font size at least 8 points.
Aside from that, this book is packed with useful information, and loaded with examples. If you know nothing about designing wizards, read this book, and you should have the confidence to get started. If you have experience designing wizards, this book will give you the tools you need to make great wizards that help users complete tasks easily. As a reviewer of interfaces, I found this book to be most helpful in answering questions like "Should they be doing that?" and "Isn't there a better way to present those choices?" I highly recommend this book.

Review: I have to say I spent months looking for a book on designing effective wizards. FINALLY I find one, and am plesantly surprised at its content. As is habit for me I was about to throw the CD in the trash or make it into a coaster but I decided to try it anyway. I have to say 99% of the time the CD's in books are garbage and not even work making a coaster out of. THis time was different though. THe Brilliant use of macro media director shows an understanding of the progam beyond what is usually seen. I was in awe as I worked my way through the CD. I think the person who made the CD is truly truly gifted. Macromedia should offer him a job! So I say to everyone the CD alone is worth the cost of this book!
