3.0 out of 5 stars just passed cert with flying colors, February 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Certified Macromedia Flash MX Designer Study Guide (Paperback)

I was concerned after reading these reviews. True this book is very short(112 pgs), but a few things can be said. Eventhough not representative of all questions asked on the exam you need to know everything in it for the exam. My suggestion is to memorize this book then goto macromedia and print the study guide for the cert. Cross reference the two and definetly KNOW whatever is alike with the two. Then open up the ever useful flash help. That is how I passed --so in that I recommend the book because it gives you a map of the exam (the author was a contributor for the exam questions)and ends up being free with the 15% coupon for the exam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't base your readiness on this book., December 30, 2002

This review is from: Certified Macromedia Flash MX Designer Study Guide (Paperback)

The book is too short and lacks any real substance. You get as much, if not more information from the online help that comes with Flash MX. After reading the study guide, I looked at the sample questions that Macromedia has on their site for the Flash Designer test. The book didn't even help answer those sample questions. The only good thing about the guide is the 15% discount off of the exam, which pretty much covers the cost of this guide.
