Summary: Great book, need time to review
Comment: I haven't finished this book, so I can't really give you complete details. To learn Adobe/Macromedia read the blue book published by Adobe.

Summary: Not Great, But Not Bad Either!
Comment: I got this book a few days ago because I wanted to use Studio 8 to design a site. The book has been helpful but no lifesaver. The example you build throughout the book is very simple and much of the book focuses on building the example, but does a poor job of explaining other design options to users. I think the biggest problem is that it tries to do too much in one book. I guess I can't blame the authors, because Studio 8 is quite big. What the book does manage to explain is well done and easy to understand. I don't think you will find a Studio 8 book with everything you need. I recommend you look into buying a different book for each of the applications within Studio 8 (Dreamweaver, Flash, etc)

Summary: Intro to Intermediate - Great Book
Comment: This books covers it. Whatever you are looking for, all of the applications are discussed in detail, their similarities and differences. The Projects are very useful and cover the full range of software.
The only negetive is the fact that you have to download all of the data files. There is no included CD. But that said, this book starts at the basics of all of the applications and moves though their functionality. Then moves to the projects that are carried through from beginning to end.
The language used is not Techie, but lighthearted for lack of a better phrase.
Easy to read and very informative.
Well setup, very easy to use as a reference.
