 Adobe
GoLive 4.0 is much like a huge garage workshop; tons of tools and lots
of options. A typical workshop will contain hammers, and usually
several of them. A maul, a mallet, a ball peen hammer to name a few.
To the uninitiated, we suddenly have a dazzling array of tools to
pound with. Adobe GoLive 4 is much like this, a huge
selection of tools to work the web with. This is where Real World
Adobe GoLive 4, (724 pages) steps in to show you how each tool is
unique and what task it is best suited for.
Real World GoLive 4 is the manual that Adobe
GoLive should have shipped with. With far more informative pictures,
this handy reference details each and every function of Adobe GoLive in
clear concise English; a trait that seems to be rare amongst manuals
these days.
Most importantly though, is that Real World
GoLive 4 details what the tools are best used for, and which tools are
not the wisest choice. In addition, it details bugs and interesting
"features" of Adobe GoLive 4 for both the Windows and
Macintosh up to version 4.01. Tips and techniques are detailed
throughout the book and every single one is listed in the table of
contents for quick usability.
For the more advanced user, Real World GoLive 4
shows you how to take advantage of GoLive's more advanced features, like
animation and integration of media plugins. Cascading style sheets and
its odd quirks, as well as GoLive's way of handling them are all
explained in full detail.
A reference manual that depicts Adobe
GoLive's dazzling array of uses well. Real World Adobe GoLive 4 belongs
on every Adobe GoLive 4 users shelf. Handy tips and useful workarounds
to GoLive's inherent problems make this reference book a must.
