Missing files found on publisher website

http://www.peachpit.com/title/032130330X#info2 I stumbled around the publishers website after being annoyed at the missing Chapter 4 files, and I found the above link to download the files. Overall it was a decent book, but as a newb I was looking for a whole lot more information on building from scratch.

My Favorite Bookstore

The title says it all. I think that this website provides a service for all type of readers. The book is an excellent book for graphic ideas. It is especially useful for beginners who suffer from "Designers Block". However, the title may give people the idea that this Book will show you step by step Photoshop techniques which it does not.

Good in every way except a few typos.

Pros: Great examples and information. Learned a lot in the week that it took to go through it. Will use it as a photoshop reference for a long time. Cons: A few typos or missed steps that left me hanging and needed to play around with various options to get the desired result.

A complex subject treated very well

This book does a great job of covering a complex topic in a clear, concise, and beautifully illustrated way. It teaches by step-by-step example, and it distills what could be pages of background info into short "Insight" explanations that appear on the page to answer your questions exactly when they occur to you. "Tips" and "Cautions" help you work more efficiently and avoid pitfalls. In just 200 pages the book covers the use of Photoshop and ImageReady for designing and producing interactive navigation elements, animations, individual web pages, and entire web sites. The beautiful book design (by Jill Davis) helps make all of this information accessible. And all the pieces you need for the examples are provided on the CD-ROM that comes with the book. This book is a winner!
