RE: FLASH: RE: John Croteau Book ?

[joe shoults]

I haven't seen John's book yet, but I think nearly everybody here will step

up and say that if 1/2 of what John contributes here and on his sites is in

the book, it is well worth the money!  Also, while it may seem that the

concept of employing solid instructional design principles and effective

curriculum is foreign to the Macromedia Flash manual authors ;-), it is not

to John.  From what I know of Mr. Croteau, he is particularly attentive to

curriculum and offering "real-world" value through his examples- not just

another book that says "this button does this, that button does that, here,

make the cute little yellow birdie fly".


There are no less than 8 books published or soon-to-be published right now:
