""After Effects Expressions offers a comprehensive resource guide that fills a niche like nothing else currently on the market. If you would like to add expressions to your bag of design and development tricks, this book comes highly recommended.""--Tim Frick, Mightybytes.com
Product Description
Put the power of Expressions to work in your animations with controls and efficiencies impossible to achieve with traditional keyframing techniques. No programming skills are required. Foundation concepts and skills orient the new designer and serve as a handy reference to the experienced one. Basics of creating Expressions, variables, commands, and Expression helpers precede the leap into JavaScript and math essentials for more advanced Expressions that include randomness and physical simulations. Full color illustrations display the scripts and the resulting effects, Pick Whip techniques, and sequential animations. Downloadable companion files include QuickTime movies of the demo animations, and AE project files that permit you to examine the Expressions. No programming experience required to use this title. It features full-color presentation of Pick Whip techniques and sequential animations. It also features downloadable project files and QuickTime videos.

Like many other After Effects users, I've avoided expressions thinking them way beyond my understanding, especially when you visit the creativecow website and watch the "genius" of the Ebberts, Rabinowitz and Larsen tutorials. You sort of just sit in amazement.
But no more !!!
This book explains everything in simple terms and logic. I've looked at expressions in the After Effects program manual and got lost after three or four pages, and other After Effects tutorial books and done the same. This book is fun to read and most importantly, to understand.
Now, what they do on creativecow is making sense. It'll take time - but it's making sense.
I reckon this is THE book for anyone wanting to understand expressions and I can't recommend it too highly.
Well done, Mr Geduld.

I have managed to avoid learning or even looking at JavaScript so far, so I was amazed to realise that this book managed to teach me without really letting on.
After Effects Expressions is a great book that will help After Effects users of most abilities (although beginners probably have enough to worry about without looking into Expressions!) learn what is quite a complex subject. The Author takes you gently through the basics and will have you producing some fairly useful demos whilst still keeping it interesting and amusing.
Don't read this book for fun, this is not a subject for bedtime reading! However if you have a good overall understanding of After Effects and you want to take it to the next level it is a must. I am now genuinely excited about what I can/should be able to do and how many more options I now have. Expressions can save you a lot of time and do some pretty cunning things, this book will help you get closer to achieving this.

Starting very simply the examples get increasingly complex until the real power of expressions for controlling the action becomes apparent.
I would reccommend it to anyone who wants more sophisticated and precise control over their animated comps.
