1.0 out of 5 stars
The most boring book on the planet.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Introduction to Digital Multimedia (Paperback)
This book was required for a college class I am taking, I have to force myself to read this book. I have to read it numerous times to absorb the small amount of actually useful information it contains. It is not my level of knowledge that is the issue, it is the manner in which this book presents it. I am sure that there must be a better book available somewhere!

This review is from: An Introduction to Digital Multimedia (Paperback)
Wow, this book was required for my class and I think I drooled over all the pages from passing out. I only referenced the book about 3 times. This might be an okay book if you have no basic skills in multimedia, but if you know what a .SWF file is you're ahead of this book.
