This review is from: Web Site Graphics: Flash Animation & DHTML: The Best Works on the Web (Paperback)

This is a pictoral showcase of Flash and DHTML designed websites. For anyone looking for inspiration, and who would rather flip through a sturdy glossy reference than search the unfiltered web, this book will prove very useful.

Not much of a "how-to" book, but it makes no claims as such. I have one, and have seen everything in it - Danielson has done much work to save you some online surfing and allow you to concentrate on creation.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book gives me great idea, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Web Site Graphics: Flash Animation & DHTML: The Best Works on the Web (Paperback)

I am new to using Flash, having heard about the great moving graphics you can put together using little space. Looking at this book, and going to the listed sites, I am astounded at what I could do and what I need to learn. For you newbies, just starting to tinker around with flash, this book should be helpful by showing what you can do. NOT a technical book; I'd say you can use it with a tech book - this one for style, and a tech book to show execution.

This review is from: Web Site Graphics: Flash Animation & DHTML: The Best Works on the Web (Paperback)

I was very disappointed in this book. Based on the description and other reviews, I was expecting a simple introduction to Flash and DHTML. Instead this book is just a list of about 40 websites and a screen print from each of them. This whole book could be summed up with a list of website bookmarks in an email attachment.
