Book Description This introductory book guides readers through the essentials of Authorware—a state-of-the-art multimedia authoring tool used to develop games, simulations, presentations, drills, and tutorials. Unlike traditional computer languages that require users to know programming, Authorware allows users to develop multimedia with only a minimal knowledge of computer programming and operation. KEY TOPICS: Adopting a user-friendly, tutorial approach, Hooper leads users step-by-step through the authoring process, integrating frequent checkpoints that assess readers' on- going comprehension. The Second Edition presents the latest version of Authorware—version 4—with a completely new interface that enhances learning. | ||

Not up to date There have been so many changes in authorware that this book, while handy for it's time, is not a valid resource anymore. IT really lacks because of this, missing on some of the finer points of the newer authorware systems and abilities. Most of the high points of this book are moot now, expecially with the advent of Flash integration, the expanded Calculator Icon, and the higher movie integration. | ||
A graduate student from Penn State I found the book to be very useful even though I am using Authorware 5. The exercises were effective and the videos on the CD were great. Much better than the manuals. | ||
Short & sweet Good for version 3.5 or earlier. Works well as a personal tutor. Covers critical aspects very well. | ||
