I have painfully gone through 4 other books in my process of learning Dreamweaver. And I can't praise David enough for his clear and step by step writing style that has truly brought this software into focus. The biggest benefit for me was the actual step by step exercises that build upon each other. Allowing for the big picture to evolve naturally. Don't waste your money on other books, ...             Podcast Solutions: The Complete Guide to Audio and Video Podcasting, Second Edition5 reviews Michael Geoghegan, Dan Klass friends of ED, 2007 The perfect book for all podcasters. Yes that's right, this is the perfect book for any and all podcasters. If you are a podcaster, or want to be one or just want to find out what it's all about buy this book. The title says it all; Podcast Solutions. Chock full of info, written concisely, humorously, intelligently, informatively and in language that anyone can understand (even me) this is the one book to buy on the subject. ...             Foundation Actionscript 3.0 Animation: Making Things Move!36 reviews Keith Peters friends of ED, 2007 This is a great e-book I'm purchasing the Kindle versions of all my AS3 books because lugging 5 coding books between work and home feels like carrying the stone tablets of Moses. Foundation Actionscript 3.0 Animation is the cornerstone of my stone tablets. This is the one book that transformed me from function phobic designer to coding whiz. It took patience, practice and proofreading, but I got there starting ...             CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions, Second Edition131 reviews Simon Collison, Andy Budd, ... friends of ED, 2009 Fantastic guide to CSS development I'm totally new to CSS, having only recently learned the meaning of the acronym a month ago by reading Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML. Once I finished that great introductory guide I found myself wanting to learn more advanced techniques, and this book delivered. At 350 ages this book was a relatively concise guide, and I found all 3 authors had a very readable style that included well ...             DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model74 reviews Jeremy Keith friends of ED, 2005 Amazingly well structured and written If have read a few books on javascript since i wanted to extend my toolbox of html, css and php. But this book is by far the best. Everything is so well explained that it seems too simple to be true. I did find the examples in other books quite confusing and sometimes hard to follow. Now I look at those examples and wonder why they made life so difficult. The codes could be written much more ...             PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy40 reviews David Powers friends of ED, 2006 Highly Recommended Book!!!! I've purchased many books on PHP and MySQL, but this one is my absolute favorite! I like the style in which the author writes. It's like a person is teaching you rather than following steps or a very technical 1-2-3 pattern as many of the other books do. This one is fun to read and I'm actually learning the language, setting up a database (real examples that are fun and not boring) and it's ...             Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook, Special Edition61 reviews Dan Cederholm friends of ED, 2009 Cedarholm web standards clearly and concisely written with good examples Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook, Special Edition             Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Image Effects (Foundations)7 reviews Todd Yard friends of ED, 2009 very good This book is one of my favorite Actionscript books. The author writes in an understandable and clear way. The examples are on topic and clear in the understanding. The book covers a wide variety of different aspects in the use of image effects and image processing in Actionscript 3. The target audience are definitely not for beginners or coders new to Actionscript, but for coders with medium or ...             PHP Object-Oriented Solutions10 reviews David Powers friends of ED, 2008 its a good book i'm a procedural PHP developer with a few years of experience. i have been working on adapting to OOP methods and best practices (where applicable only--i dont write everything in OOP). the book is everything it was promised to be. i read "php & MySQL development" first by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson-- the 50 pages or so of OOP content there helped me a bit. I did several tutorials as well.. ...             Foundation Game Design with Flash (Foundations)17 reviews Rex van der Spuy friends of ED, 2009 Awesome but simple book to learn AS3 and Game Design I had a problem switching from ActionScript 2 syntax to ActionScript 3, and after trying multiple tutorials to get stuck into it, I still found myself asking "But why did I do that?" "What does that thing mean?" and other such questions. This book has helped me understand the external AS3 model far better than any other resource I have tried to learn from. The author does a really good job of ...             Foundation Rails 210 reviews Eldon Alameda friends of ED, 2008 The Best Book for Learning Ruby on Rails Foundation Rails 2 is simply the best book for learning Ruby on Rails. The author does an amazing job communicating some points, which I could not previously understand by working logically through rails. I read four other ruby books, most of them half way through until I got overwhelmed and lost. With Foundation, the author really teaches the material in a way that seems personal, real and not ...             Foundation Fireworks CS4 (Foundations)9 reviews Grant Hinkson, Craig Erskine, ... friends of ED, 2009 Love it! I've been really pleased with Foundation Fireworks CS4 and constantly use the book as a reference for inspiration and motivation!             HTML and CSS Web Standards Solutions: A Web Standardistas' Approach7 reviews Christopher Murphy, Nicklas Persson friends of ED, 2008 Perfect Book on learning XHTML and CSS XHTML and CSS have been around for a long time, and there are lots and lots of books on the topic(s). But there are very few that explain these topics the proper way with regard to web standards and taking consideration to more advanced topics like SEO. Whether you code your web pages from scratch or use a web design tool (Dreamweaver or Web Expression) or even use a CMS that creates most of ...             The Essential Guide to 3D in Flash (Essential Guide To...)2 reviews Richard Olsson, Rob Bateman friends of ED, 2010 Great book on Flash for 3D This book is really excellent. If you were anything like me, papervision was a bit of an underground society. Every tutorial on google is outdated, the PV3D project seems to be not in development any more? Etc. In any case, 3d is something which has been bothering me for a long time in AS3. Away3d is easily the most upto date and alive 3d engine with a great community. This book is well ...             Foundation Flash Cartoon Animation12 reviews Tim Jones, Allan Rosson, ... friends of ED, 2007 A valuable resource for flash animation professionals I've been a professional animator for over 10 years and I found this to be a valuable resource.

Thanks!             The Essential Guide to Flash CS4 with ActionScript10 reviews Paul Milbourne, Michael Oliver, ... friends of ED, 2009 Good for someone with previous expirence I haven't used Flash since MX 2004 and found this book the perfect way to get back into it with CS4. It's Actionscript isn't as robust as other books I've looked at, but it gives you the background on the principles of OOP and gets you started with the essentials of programming in Flash, as well as an overview of all the drawing and design tools. If you've never used Flash before, you may want a ...             The Essential Guide to CSS and HTML Web Design (Essentials)11 reviews Craig Grannell friends of ED, 2007 web designing with css Excellent book, after reading and experimenting with css I have been able to convert a site to use css.

Worth every penny.             Object-Oriented ActionScript 3.017 reviews Todd Yard, Peter Elst, ... friends of ED, 2007 Become a Real Programmer Our industry is plagued by individuals that learn the haphazard overnight. If you are looking to become serious Flash programmer, this is a book you should read. Step out of the basement and into the world of clean and professional programming practices. Book is an excellent introduction to Object Oriented theory, suggested workflows, and real-world application development. ~ Paul Milbourne ...             AdvancED ActionScript 3.0 Animation6 reviews Keith Peters friends of ED, 2008 Excellent animation book I begin by saying that this is not a book aimed at users with basic level and that I noticed since I started reading the first page. In fact, if you want to exploit all the content, you should first read the book "Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Animation: Making Things Move" by the same author. Do not expect to find an introduction to ActionScript 3 or it syntax. More than a manual, this book is ...              search for books actionscript, advanced, animation, approach, cartoon, complete, design, designers, document, dreamweaver, dynamic, edition, effects, essential, essentials, fireworks, foundation, foundations, handbook, javascript, mastery, object-oriented, oriented, podcast, podcasting, scripting, solutions, special, standardistas, standards books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
