Excellent Overview with RealWorld examples...

I loved this book... I gave me a broad view of web design and narrowed in on giving realworld usable examples: " How did they do that... solutions". Good references and future readings also given. This book is a must for web designers or those implementing a web site.

A must have for designers

I read "Click Here" in one sitting, cover to cover. The author successfully integrates discussions on Photoshop, Director, BBedit, Illustrator as well as good solid design techniques. I highly recommend this book. It's one you'll refer to time and time again.

Using this book for education.

"click here." contains well focused information about current techniques for multimedia broadcasting on webs. I use it as a textbook for teaching this subject at a Third Year level, servicing a bachelor degree in Communication Studies, at the Auckland Institute of Technology in New Zealand. The visual information in the book is printed to a high quality. It's consise, but very punchy with clear discussions. Students like it. New Riders as a publisher are working with good authors, I also use Gary Buoton's book "Inside Extreme 3D 2" as a course textbook. This book is good value to anybody working with web design and web strategy.
