Book Reviews of Writing for Multimedia and the Web, Third Edition: A Practical Guide to Content Development for Interactive Media
Book Review: A broad overview, college-level textbook
Summary: 4 Stars
As a broad overview of writing for web sites and interactive media products, this book covers all of the key topics (although briefly) for a student who wants to work in this field. The examples are extensive and well chosen, and often geared to the interests of young adults. But the book doesn't provide exercises or projects for learning specific skills. Readers will want to supplement this book with other resources that present detailed information on specific skills and techniques.
