From the Back Cover

One of our best-selling Visual QuickStart Guides now includes the latest features of Fireworks 4, with updated coverage of animation, scripting Fireworks and Dreamweaver, writing JavaScript commands, and exporting graphics to Macromedia Director. A new chapter compares Fireworks with Adobe Photoshop as a Web graphics tool.

With Fireworks 4 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide, you'll learn how to design, create, optimize, and output Web graphics from Fireworks in no time, thanks to the signature Visual QuickStart approach: clear, step-by-step instructions with plenty of helpful screenshots. The book thoroughly explores Fireworks' omnibus graphic tool set, which combines vector drawing, bitmap tools, text editing, special effects, color management, animation, and HTML linking in one interface.

Reviews

Fireworks 4, a tool for creating graphics and interactive elements for web pages, works well with other Macromedia tools like Dreamweaver and Flash. Like other authors in the "Visual QuickStart" series, Cohen does an excellent job of distilling topics. Whether discussing optimizing graphics or creating rollover effects, her book addresses the issues in a concise manner, which makes it useful for even experienced users. How To Use provides a very graphical reference for the newer user. Both of these titles are recommended, given the popularity of web animation tools, but Cohen's book will probably have a longer shelf life.
