- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017Was very useful during my Interactive Motion Graphics Class. Would definitely recommend it to someone else.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016The best book on Flash/Animate I have ever read - worthwhile going through each and every chapter.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017The book is fine. It does what it is supposed to do, and, like all the books in this series, it does it pretty well. The fact that this is a program that has fewer and fewer uses as time goes by shouldn't color the fact that the book does a great job teaching it.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016The book content is great, but all the pictures are so dark and small that they are very very difficult to read. Everyone have a dark grey background with dark or small elements like the parameters or texts. See the attached pics.

2.0 out of 5 stars Libro base
Libro base potrebbe essere utile solo per orientarsi nell'interfaccia e fare qualche animazione. Tratta di sfuggita l'html5 canvas. Sono rimasto un po' deluso.
