    Synopsis

    This is the fourth update to Peachpit's Visual QuickStart Guide to Macromedia Fireworks, a tool that creates both raster and vector-based graphics for the Web. Fireworks is more than a drawing and effects tool, it's also capable of generating buttons, image maps, simple animations, and their underlying code. Additionally, if you use other Macromedia Web tools, such as Dreamweaver or Flash, Fireworks can be used "roundtrip" with them when editing and updating your Web pages. This edition will cover the newest features in Fireworks, in addition to the clear, step-by-step instructions on how to use all the existing graphics and text features in the program.

    Macromedia Fireworks MX for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guideby Anonymous

    December 19, 2004: The book follows in the footsteps of the other QuickStart books. Fireworks is a nice graphics drawing package. This functionality lends itself easily to a QuickStart approach. The inherent visual nature of Fireworks means that every page can have graphics demonstrating some aspect. (Don't try this with an algorithms book.) The pages are also usually in a 2 column format, instead of the default single column for books. Presumably, it is meant to be easier to read. Shorter attention span needed and all that. The general tenor is of snappy task descriptions. Maybe for the harried reader who just wants an answer and not an essay on the theory of drawing. The book seems to be random access. Use the contents and index to find and apply a solution. The two together seem to trace out well the abilities of Fireworks.
