Summary: Flash in a Flash
Comment: Don't have time to read a drawn out review? Bear with me.
Don't have time to sit down and learn one of the most vital applications of web authoring? Sure you do.
Lynda.com does it again with an approach to teaching a not-very-easy program in a way that would make anyone less apprehensive, actually makes it fun, without taking up too much of your valuable time. Each of the 17 chapters contains from six to eight abbreviated exercises you can breeze through, come back to any time you want without disrupting the flow, and best of all, you can start ANYWHERE in the book you want without worrying that you may have missed something in previous chapters. That's right .... you can cheat!!! This is the way school always should have been.
As with their easy and enjoyable book on Dreamweaver 4 (and also featuring that book's instructor Garo Green), your friendly tutor Kymberlee Weil presents a simple and speedy curriculum that one can dash through, yet be left with a sense of comprehending the method of this very involved and, to many, somewhat intimidating web tool. The wrong book on Flash could actually be very discouraging to learning, but fortunately, this is not that book. Flash 5 H.O.T. will get you started ..... THEN you can go nuts and get all those lengthy tomes on ActionScript and Animation FX, and you may have noticed there are a lot of them. But THIS is the one to start with.
Now if only they would come out with a Director 8.5 book. ..... Read a good school lately?

Summary: Lyndo.com is tops - bought book
Comment: I can't say enough about how Lynda and assoc. writes books. I've bought too many books, such as Flash Magic books, Visual Quick start Foundation Flash & others. Really, I bought too many that sit unused becuase they were not inspiring to me!<<<<
I know that I am coming from a beginner to intermediate user, but I have a mad passion for REAL well written tutorial books with quicktime movies. Lynda's books deliver BIG TIME!
She take GREAT care, step by step, trying to show you how to do her tutorials with out loosing a step.
The other books such as Visual Quickstart books and Flash Magic books really seemed to be geared for more of advanced geek type user. All of them and I've read and browsed many, do not teach as complete as she does.
I just feel that there are not very many books out there that teach software the way Lynda's books do. There is something very uplifting about her books. i almost feel like I could go door to door trying to sell her books they are that good.
Sure there will be geeky people that feel her approach is to simplistic. But they miss the BOAT BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!
O by the way I bought Foundation Flash as well. Again, all the other books that are not written by her from other companies just don't have the gift that she does! That real step by step approach.
We all go through life trying to find things that are uplifting, artistic. We see Van Gough paintings, we great bridges built. We see and hear great music.
We also see and read great books.
She can teach, and teach very well indeed.

Summary: good, but not complete
Comment: The book gives clear step-by step instructions on most Flash 5 functions.
However, the book does not give clear instructions on how to create navigation buttons. I had to spend hours of trial and error.
Nor does the book explain how to make input boxes and provide feedback for an educational program. I am having to purchase a few more Flash 5 manuals and hope that at least one of those manuals will help me.
