Publisher's Synopsis
Macromedia calls Fireworks "a new category of Web graphics production tools," and indeed it is something new under the sun: an integrated, all-in-one tool for producing graphics and animations for the World Wide Web. Whereas previously a Web designer might typically have relied on four or five separate applications to create a Web graphic--vector drawing program, bitmap image editor, file-conversion utility, HTML editor, and so on--Fireworks brings all the operations together into a single interface. In addition, Fireworks makes revisions far simpler and more efficient to achieve, with object-oriented effects that update automatically as images are changed and graphics that remain in fully editable form at all times.
With abundant graphics and clear explanations, Fireworks for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide introduces novice and experienced Web designers to this new technology, using a practical, step-by-step, task-oriented approach that makes it easy to get started.
But don't take our word for it! In a forward to the book, bestselling author Lynda Weinman writes, "This book delivers on its promise to get you up and running quickly, which is essential in the fast-paced world of Web development. I highly recommend this book if you want to use Fireworks to its best advantage."
