5.0 out of 5 stars very good and thorough book, wide scope., April 19, 2009

Squire Man (France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flash CS4 Professional Bible (Paperback)

I love this book,

it's a big book, containing a lot of features about Flash CS4 but can be used with CS3 if you skip about new features.

The content is well organised and cover a wide scope about Flash.

Even if you are an experienced user of Flash (what I humbly think to be..) you'll discover things that you did'nt know about or things that you did'nt suppose the software was able to do!!

kuddos to the authors !!

In the recent past, some reviewers had complain about the fact that Wiley's Bible books were printed on low quality paper.

It was true about some references, but then, about this book, the paper is fine and the printing is top quality.

VERY GOOD BOOK

Good book that gives you information about how to do things in Flash that you won't find in most books. It has a great index to look up stuff if you are in a hurry.

This review is from: Flash CS4 Professional Bible (Paperback)

This edition of the Flash Bible was obviously written too fast - there are a lot of errors and typos in the examples.
