I’m so excited! I just received copies of my latest book on Adobe Fireworks. Hard to describe the feeling of seeing your words in print. But after months of conceptualizing, writing, re-writing, editing and revising, it’s finally here!
My new book is now available!
I
had a wonderful editing team to work with on the Project. Sheri German, my
friend and Technical Editor (2nd time in a row) for this book kept me on
task and was did a great job of making sure steps were accurate and clear. I
owe her so much for the attention to detedback
from previous editions.It’s also a bit more of a personal book for me, because so much of the artwork – photos, interfaces, wireframes – are of my own creation. Many images from my yearly camping trip with Joe, Tom and Rob (and Marley, the camp mascot) appear in this edition, so while it’s an instructional text, it also contains memories for me.
What is Classroom in a Book?
For
those of you who have not picked up a Classroom in a Book (CiaB) before, these
texts are both reference and how-to manuals in one. Project based, they take
users through an introduction to the software’s interface, and then get right
into using the tools to produce content. In short, hopefully answering not just
the how, but also the “why”, when possible.
If you’re interested in designing, wireframing or protoyping for the web, applications or even just doing more with your screen graphics for PowerPoint, I think this book gives you just what you need to use Fireworks effectively.
If you’re a teacher, I’ve also written a companion guide for the book to help you plan out lessons, and giving you summaries of what each chapter (lesson) covers.
If you pick up a copy, please let me know what you think. I would love to get feedback on the book.
