About the Book

Fireworks is becoming much more important to web professionals because it is now being packaged along with Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver UltraDev. As more professionals note the easy interface between this graphics package and the web design software, more and more will begin to use Fireworks rather than put up with the hassles of integrating Photoshop with the Macromedia suite of web products. No one has yet prepared a book to address the needs of professional users who need more than the basics. Abigail Rudner is doing just that for New Riders, in the form of Inside Fireworks X.
