Summary: Big on Info, Short on Guidance
Comment: A handsome volume with nice screen shots, economical coverage and references to integrating with other Macromedia web apps .... but a not very satisfying guide for the novice user who really needs to get a grasp on what Fireworks is about.
The online tutorials connected with this book are outstanding, and were my main attraction to purchasing it; but when I got it home and started trying to use the book as a learning tool, I found the exercises to be greatly lacking in what could be considered tutorial materials. Granted, there are a few files you can download from the book's site, but much of the graphics the user is expected to create him/herself. A tad more examples of files would have been helpful, if for nothing else than deconstruction purposes, ideal file types and sizes, etc, just to get optimization concepts down.
At least the section ON optimization proceedure was found helpful, I'll give the authors that. For those of us who have been confronted with Adobe Imageready for the first time and not known what the heck to do, this book's section on finding the ideal format and size for web graphics is very well explained as to how, why and when to use variances of GIF or JPG for specific images, and I came away with a better understanding of that aspect.
A good enough reference for those who already sort of have a handle on web production ..... but I have yet to find a volume that effectively TEACHES Fireworks 4 in a capacity that can get a person up to speed in a timely manner.

Summary: Melding Photoshop,Fireworks,Flash and Dreamweaver together!
Comment: This book is truly awesome! I am well versed in Adobe Photoshop,Illustrator, FLash and Dreamweaver. This books shows you how to complement them all into your daily workflow. This book gives the designer that extra insight on how a professional workflow and website are organized. In response to the first review which was negitive, this book is partly for beginners, It shows you drawing techniques, but does not show you how to use the pen tool. So This book is great for people who are already familiar with Illustrator, Corel Draw or Freehand. You can learn without rehashing the same old stuff. This book will help you be more productive and efficient at building websites. Fireworks is an awesome tool and this book will show you how to get the most out of it. ... .

Summary: Fireworks 4 Expert Edge Rocks!
Comment: Jeffrey Bardzell and Lisa Lopuck are a dynamic duo in the web development field. Not only did they write the outstanding work Fireworks 4 Expert Edge, they continue to team up with Fireworks MX Magic and other web-based courses. The synergy the two have displayed in these books is awesome, and the web site -...- simply puts this book over the top. If you have aspirations of being a great web designer, graphic artist, or multimedia specialist, this book is essential for your library. If you were to attend a Macromedia seminar, or a 3rd-party seminar, you would pay at least [$$$]dollars for what this book gives you. Go for it!
