5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - Gets right into the program, September 24, 2000

This review is from: Adobe(R) LiveMotion(R) Classroom in a Book (Classroom in a Book (Adobe)) (Paperback)

Some books go on and on about the basics of a program while others get extremely technical very quickly. The 'Adobe LiveMotion Classroom In A Book' is a perfect balance of these two techniques. Each lesson introduces you to different tools and their applications, gradually getting deeper into LiveMotion's amazing abilities. The lessons also encourage you to experiment, giving you even more experience and knowledge. This is definitely a great book for any owner of Adobe's LiveMotion!

It's a book that gives beginners to Adobe products a good idea how the tools are used (tools that are pretty universal in all Adobe products) while allowing those experienced with items in the Adobe line of programs a chance to get right into learning the program!

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money....................., July 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Adobe LiveMotion 2.0 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

It's bad enough that the manuals Adobe ships with products are of little use but it's an absolute insult that you buy an after-market book which is published by Adobe only to find it too is riddled with mistakes, omissions, silly tututorials (not all) that have little to do with 'real world' web development situations.

I returned mine and got a refund so a big Thank You to AMEX for protecting their card holders.

This review is from: Adobe(R) LiveMotion(R) Classroom in a Book (Classroom in a Book (Adobe)) (Paperback)

I found this book and it's accompaning CD to be be an excellent guide in helping me to learn how to use the software to its fullest potential. Prior to purchasing this book and CD, I was using the software for well over a month and half. Nevertheless, I learned something new in every chapter.

This book and CD is well worth the price. Users of all levels will benefit from the material presented in some or all of the 16 lessons. It is a must have for new users.
