People who have tried to learn the finer points of Flash on their own know how easy it is to be caught between the desire to simply tinker with the program and the need to understand its systems and complexities... The strength of Flash 5 Virtual Classroom is its excellent balance of the two... An outstanding reference for users at any level. --The Designers' Bookshelf, 5/01 (4 stars, Editors' Choice) Dear Mr. Sahlin, I just wanted to commend you on your excellent publication... I plan to make your book the required text for my Fall 2001 classes as it is perfect for the beginner and intermediate learner. --James Graham, Asst Prof, Univ of Lethbridge, Canada Out of 5 Flash books on my bookshelf, yours is my favorite. --Sara Choe, Designer Doug, I just wanted to give my thanks! I am a 13 year old whom has gotten herself into the wonders of web designing. Your book was very helpful, especially since the colleges around my city allow only 16 year olds and up. Your steps were very easy to follow and prevented serious headaches! --Amber aka Soon to be webmaster ***** Best Flash Book I have seen. I wish I had owned this book as my first Flash book. It would have saved me so much time and money. --Amazon reviewer, 7/13/01 ***** Video makes learning a lot easier This book comes with a CD that plays video on your computer...It's like watching over the shoulder of an expert. I am picking Flash up much faster than I ever would have and I hope that more computer books come with great videos like this one. --Amazon reviewer, 1/26/01
