Learning Flash CS4 Professional
This is another great book from Rich Shupe. Learning Flash CS4 Professional is a full-color learning guide to one of the most popular web development tools in history, Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash has changed the web forever and has given users from all over the world a new way to engage, interact and experience web content of all types. Flash has been on the market for over ten years and it continues to grow beyond what most can comprend.
I teach Flash primarily to individuals who are: “New to Flash”, “Opened and Closed Flash”, and “Played with Flash a little”. Whatever the case maybe, I highly recommend Learning Flash CS4 Professional.
The book takes you from:
- Interface Essentials
- Graphics, Symbols
- Animation
- Text
- Audio/Video
- Publishing
- ActionScript Basics – “And it’s not over a beginner’s head”
- Flash Advanced Features (3D, Components, Kinematics)
The book reads well and does not boggle you down many exercises, it gives you the opportunity to complete one project. This project also relates to what most people would use Flash for. The chapters are clear and concise. If you are not following the project, you will still be able to complete various exercises in each chapter.
I’ve been using Flash since Flash 3, but if I had to learn it all over again, I believe Learning Flash CS4 Professional would actually help me learn Flash.
I give it 4/5 BURGERS.
