Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
A lot of tech-heads might consider my description of Adobe Flash as a 'difficult application' to be a bit of a joke. But when it comes to flash video and implementing them into website design I am a total novice. In fact, novice might be a bit above me. I have used and reviewed the Total Training for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Essentials (PC/Mac) before, but I was already quite familiar with that particular application so trainer wasn't THAT effective on me.

But since I am so useless at Adobe Flash there was more information for me to consume with this one. As before the training comes in eight easy chapters for you to learn and move through at your own pace. You'll have to be naturally good at creative thinking in order for the pay-off to worthwhile, but even if you are not it will give you the ability to understand Adobe Flash and recognize its potential.

Good product 19 Mar 2012

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I got this for my friend's son who has some Flash experience re. animation for fun, but also has been dabbling in website design and after a few days with it he reported back that he had in fact found it very useful - you know how they don't like to admit that they don't know it all!

It would seem to be a great way in for beginners - and whilst it isn't cheap, it is a great investment for someone who is serious about it.

Maybe the perfect birthday/Xmas present for a Flash-oriented youngster?
