This version of the Fireworks 4 Visual Quickstart Guide is one of the finest beginners books I've seen. Sandee Cohen is very detailed without becoming boring. You get just enough to quickly learn the basics of Fireworks 4. The layout is logical and easy to follow. With the many well done illustrations you never get lost or frustrated.

There is even a section which compares Fireworks to Photoshop so Photoshop users know what the differences are and can adjust quickly. You'll learn not only the basics of how to get around in Fireworks but how to make the new pop-up menus and navigation bars as well as use the vector drawing tools and the bitmap tools and features.

You will learn how to slice and optimize your images and when you are all done you will learn how to export them for use on the Web. You will even learn how to make simple animations. Fireworks is a powerful program and this book will get you up to speed quickly
