1 out of 5 stars This isn't about fireworks   March 1, 2008
  0 out of 5 found this review helpful

I'm being sarcastic here, but please allow me to say that to those of us who actually MAKE FIREWORKS, the appropriation of our already much-maligned word for the promotion of I.T. is just another insult. This, and all these other software application books aren't about fireworks - they're about ones and zeros, and people who live in front of a keyboard, instead of with aluminum and black powder scrunged up under their fingernails, and coming home smelling of sulfur. Hey techno-geeks - how 'bout being imaginative and coming up with a different name for your freakin' software packages, eh?! Stop trying to sparkle up your boring lives by maligning my profession! (lol) :-) -----> * * * *** (BOOM)


5 out of 5 stars Excellent tutorial   October 10, 2007
Great book, specially for beginners.
Well organized and rich in details.
It teaches you step by step how to use fireworks.
I definetely recomemend it, specially if you are new to fireworks like I am.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent book   May 19, 2007
I found it an excellent walk-through of Fireworks. Within a short time, I was applying oval marquees, bevels, drop shadows and other terrific graphic effects. I carry this with my notebook computer -- it goes wherever I go, for the next few weeks at least.

4 out of 5 stars So So   March 18, 2007
Not exactly the best tutorial book, but then again, there isn't much out there on Fireworks. If you are new to Fireworks, then this is the book for you. However, if you are looking for more advanced content, then don't get it.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome Book for us Beginners   January 28, 2007
This book along with the tutorial cd really help to try out a lot of the features of the Fireworks program. As a beginner in the website development field, it has been a lot of help.
