 Rating:  - Senior citizen (retired teacher) says book is excellentI am a retired senior citizen, taught high school and college some years back, owned a small software consulting company and was in the aerospace industry in the 1960's. Been in the computer field one way or another full time since 1964. Thought it may be fun to learn Flash CS3 Professional on my own to enhance designing lite web sites I manage. Purchased Phllip Kerman's book. It is pleasant to read, easy to follow yet technically pulls you right in. This is a perfect book to learn Flash CS3 Professional. ... Read More Rating: - Solid Introductory TextStarting off with Flash CS3, I watched all the video tutorials available freely from Adobe. These are quite good, but they also tend to assume you already know Flash- either from a previous version or from the help tutorials (which aren't so hot).

He also goes in to good detail about the theory of what you're doing, which was nice. For example, ...

It is easy to follow, and an easy study. I am sure that there will be more that I get later to flesh out anything that I can't figure out on my own, but on a whole when you finish this book, you will be very comfortable with Flash CS3. Rating: - Great book - too easyThis is a great book for beginnings but it was too easy for me. I am terrible at buying books. I was looking for a book that could make actionscript comprehensible to designers who have some technical abilities beyond design - especially a book that could explain or deconstruct websites that use scrolling windows, draggable windows transition in one flash section AFTER another sections transitions out, implementing preloaders in the loading process or unloading process, listeners, flare effects(which I love), ...
