Summary: Good
Review: This book is nice and clear overall. I'll have to give it 3 stars however because of the author's apparent obsession with minimizing file-size.

Review: This is a wonderful textbook for learning Flash MX. Author Phillip Kerman provides the information in a well organized and clear fashion. He is also good at presenting the material to all level of users. There are enough details so that the novice can follow along with the lessons. However, there are enough interesting tips and insights to keep the experienced user's attention too. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to learn Flash MX on their own.

Summary: Great Help
Review: This is an easy book to understand. I went through all the tutorials that shipped with Macromedia Flash MX2004. They weren't easy! When I started with this, I was amazed at the many features that Macromedia never touched upon. I highly recommend this book to any getting started with Flash MX2004.

Summary: Very Well Made
Review: When I bought my copy, I checked the book's printing number. It says 04 03 02 4 3. I believe it means this book is already on its third printing. No wonder. Sam's Teach Yourself Flash MX in 24 Hours is written by an author who seems to know what it means to be a teacher, apart from being a Flash expert. The lessons are methodical but efficient, short but well-thought out. They were the kind that sparks one's creativity and sustain one's interest to learn. The author, Mr Kerman, teaches not just fundamental Flash lessons that should never be forgetten but also good habits to follow while working with Flash. He didn't try to be funny nor distant. His approach is business-like but personal. As a result, you feel at home with the software, while at the same time, you build confidence knowing that you are learning from a source who knows the subject and actually knows how to teach it! The book material and type itself are of very good quality, yet it only costs about half of any other book on this subject and level. (Kudos to Sam's Publishing.) It made learning Flash MX much fun and very interesting. Highly recommended!
