lil outdated, good read

I admit it uses an old version of flash. but all the examples work and I learned some new stuff.

good illustrated how-to

This book is similar to Thomson Learning's Illustrated Series, where you have one topic simply explained with how-to steps on 2 facing pages, including illustrations. No lengthy explanations, not an intro book, you'll have to explore basics or "why" elsewhere; you just get the basic steps to do the task. And since that's what the authors intended, I give them full stars for achieving it with a book that's clear and concise...
