Extremely useful resource
All English teachers should have this "companion". It offers fantastic exemplars and student friendly language. I can't wait until they complete the revised edition and add the updates.

Professional WPF Programming: .NET Development with the Windows Presentation Foundation (Wrox Professional ...

Wrox, 2007

A Nice Introduction to WPF
I started this book once, and had to put it down. The information was a bit overwhelming at first, and I didn't have a copy of Expression Blend or Expression Designer. I was using Expression Blend beta, Visual Studio 2005 and the .Net Framework 3.0 SDK. Many of the examples didn't work without significant and time-consuming research. Then I purchased a copy of Expression Studio and started over. ...

Verne Meyer, John Van Rys

Upwrite Press, 2005

Excellent handbook for using email professionally.
This book is best for someone who is aware that their email (and written) communication could use improvement and is motivated to improve. This book is NOT an instruction on how to use your email program. Rather, this book discusses (and gives well-designed examples of) how to effectively use email in a business setting. The book is compact and laid out nicely, with effective use of examples. ...

Focal Press, 2007

Another Great AE Book from the Meyer Family
I used this book after finishing up with the Meyer's fantastic "After Effects Apprentice" book. This book, "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects", was a great way to firm up what I had learned from other sources. Highly recommended!

Happy to Be Nappy (Jump at the Sun)

Jump At The Sun, 1999

simple, self loving, and healthy
The little girls depicted are healthy, and love themselves and the way they look. I like the abstract art, and non-idealized images of real kids with real hair.

Electric Power Statistics Sourcebook

1 review
Chris Kingham, Sandra Meyer, ...

Pennwell Corp, 1993

Excellent statistical compilation
Very impressive piece of statistical analysis. I would use it everyday to buy/sell electricity if that's what I did for a living. Layout and desktop publishing work is outstanding - a real tribute to the professionalism of the authors. Of course, I think the real praise goes to Mr. Kingham for his extreme intelligence and technology skills. I can only wish him the best of luck. Bill Gates

It's Alive: The Coming Convergence of Information, Biology, and Business

Crown Business, 2003

Information is a Growing Organism
"Library is a growing organism, said a Guru of information age, Dr. S R Ranganathan in his five laws of library science in 1930s. If library manifests the information content, and infromation, in turn, then simply manifests ideas, practices and thought. The subtitle of the book is (The Coming Convergence of Information, Biology, and Business), then, not making any news in 2003. It is an age ...

After effects master class (1 livre + 1 CD-Rom)

Trish Meyer, Chris Meyer

Eyrolles, 2003

French edition
We're the authors of this book. Just to clear up any confusion, this is a French translation of Creating Motion Graphics Volume 1 Second Edition for AE 5.5 - it's not a new or different book (which some, of course, were understandably led to believe by the alternate name and cover given it by the French publisher). Enjoy - Chris & Trish

UpWrite Press, 2007

Very Useful for Sales Representatives
This book is very useful in regards to sales communication, specifically writing communication. I have found that it is a very handy reference book. It is well designed, easy to use, and different from other reference materials I have used.

Green Tea Press, 2002

Excellent
I just got the online copy of this (available free under the GNU documentation license). I had some classes in the past, programming classes, all pertained to java and i did not learn much of anything about it. It was just "type this and blarg (As someone in a previous review said" This book is amazing, it has an elegant and significant way of blending words to the point where its fun to learn ...

The New Generation Write Source: A Book for Writing, Thinking, and Learning

Dave Kemper, Patrick Sebranek, ...

Great Source Education Group, 2007

Great resource
I bought this book to prepare for a writing workshop that I was giving for a group of homeschooled third to fifth graders. I had seen the third grade version and was very impressed with it. It was also interesting to see that my fourth grade student who does not enjoy writing could be seen peeking at pages in the book and then actually picked it up and started to read it! I find Write Source ...

Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects, Vol. 2: Advanced Techniques (3rd Edition, Version 6.5)

14 reviews
Trish Meyer; Chris Meyer

CMP Books, 2005

Creating Motion Graphics Vol 2
Though this book series was written for After effects 6.5, I used it as a supplement to CS3. I am very glad that I did, the authors answered the question - Why do you use an effect or tool? The other "teach" books demonstrated what After Effects can do, but not how other than enter the number required in the exercise. A must read for anyone new to After Effects. I hope I can find such in ...

If your serious about making a living using Ae
I Have the videos ...I have the books, they are all collecting dust except for this one. Trish and Chris Meyer are the Ae guru's. I have been using Ae for about 2 yr.s and I have dramatically increased my income because of this book. Now all the :30 and 1:00 commercials I do are done in After Effects. I strongly recommend this book for an intermediate to experienced editor wanting to break ...

Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects, Vol. 1: The Essentials
If you are new to After Effects and Motion Graphics, or want to learn from Chris and Trish about the new features in Adobe's CS3 release, I recommend the Brand New: After Effects Apprentice (DV Expert Series) (DV Expert Series) (Paperback) by Chris & Trish Meyer which is the only one of their books to cover After Effects 7, I'm pretty sure. Their next books will cover the new CS3 ...

Principles and Practice of Mathematics: COMAP (Textbooks in Mathematical Sciences)

1 review
Chris Arney, Robert Bumcrot, ...

Key College, 1996

Waste of money
I had to get this book for my college course and I can say it really is quite bad. There doesn't seem to be enough useful examples and it really is quite hard to learn much from this book. There are also a lot of errors in this book. Many questions are worded poorly too.

After Effects in Production: A Companion for Creating Motion Graphics
This is an excellent resource for After Effects. The "Meyers" Have always produced great learning materials and this is another proof positive of that.

Great Book !
I used this book in an advanced class in High School, and I plan to continue using it through college. It is very easy to read, follow, and understand, and very helpful to almost anyone who will use it. I would recommend this book to any person who will have to do a lot of writing.
