Book Reviews of Macromedia Studio 8: Training from the Source
Book Review: The missing Studio 8 Manual
Summary: 5 Stars
Another must have book from what is now Adobe Press. You can pretty much forgo the small book that shipped with S8, and or if you bought S8 through a download you wouldn't miss much. This book is what every S8 user should be budgeting for and getting as a get started and whats new. This is a great starter and refresher course material book that offers up great lessons.
Each section starts with an overview, followed by a time estimate, expected outcomes and anticipated time for the lesson. Some you may want to skip over, others covering newer material with the S8 release, you will want to get more involved with. Each lesson has associated materials in the accomanying CD so you wont have to waste time on creating items to learn with.
If you're a one person studio, you might want to have this on hand as it deals with many areas that all producers have problems with. Let's face it, a good programmer is seldom great with a graphics tool and vice versa. This book shows how to use Fireworks, Flash and integrate items (beautiful or not) with common code elements and interface with Contribute and ColdFusion.
Great for self starters and single or multi subject educational material.
