Summary: fun, clear, concise, with some goofy comedy relief!
Comment: I just completed the virtual classroom CD accompanying Doug Sahlin's Flash 5 book. I must say that it was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours. I teach graphics glasses and am always interested in seeing other teaching methodologies for classroom, distance, and self-paced learning environments.
This book could be used in any of those arenas. The author displays a thorough knowledge of the subject in a clear and concise fashion both in the video and the book chapters. The book is laid out in a clean and organized style and although I would recommend this book for beginner/beginners, I added a few new tips to my collection. I enjoyed the video presentations, although I had some sputtering of sound and sound/lip sync problems with the real player.
Tonight I viewed the video again from another computer wondering if the voice over might accomplish the same thing without the video of the instructor as it's really the content in the main window that is important and well presented. However, you can see that the author is a clown and having a good time creating this project for us, and the element of a real teacher can ad that touch of humanity missing in our on-line virtual existance! I value the ability to have my program of flash running simultaneously with the video so I could pause the video and do the lessons.
I have used flash to produce a few company demos and consinder myself an intermediate user. I get stuck on the actionscripting and this book touches on actionscripting enough so one could advance to a book like Foundation Actionscripting with a basic understanding of this robust flash feature.
I recommend this book to flash beginners and anyone who hasn't launched their flash program in a while and wants a good clean organized review.

Summary: Can't get better than this.
Comment: This is my very first book review. And, I am compelled to say that out of 5 Flash books I own, all of which are thick & heavy "bibles" to "reference" books, this tops them all! I wish I had obtained this as my first Flash book. That would have saved me SO much time and money to quickly grasp a truly useful Flashabilities.
The book's content is no-nonsense, to-the-point, and w/ the pertinent graphics tutorials and references. And, the interactive CD-rom: Wow!!! Just sit back and watch the pro make it so easy for you learn to apply to your own pages.
This has been my #1 tutorial/reference book. And, I can't wait to get my hands on the author's next book.

Summary: Excellent!!
Comment: This guy makes it all look so easy..He repeats the steps..explains them in english, and really helps you "get it". For all you peeps learning the trivial program, FLASH..YOu need this. I bought this to supplement the class I was taking on Flash cause my teacher couldn't explain it half as good as this book/CD did.
