This book is antiquated
This book uses incredibly outdated and antiquated technology.He still uses far pointers, an artifact of 16-bit Windows 3.1 that disappeared 12 years ago with Windows 95, which itself is antiquated!Nobody programs like this anymore in 2008 (or even in 1998!).

I find the chapter "What's not in this book", where he rants about redundant discussions that typify other programming books, to be mildly amusing and I read it from time to time just to get a laugh.Other than that the book is a shelf decoration.

Shouldn't books like this recognize the crime of wasting perfectly good trees?
0 Stars. I contacted the publisher who suggested I work with them to fix the code. Apparently others had already complained. As noted in other reviews, neither the code in the book or the code on the CD work. In fact, the code is so terribly incomplete I am surprised any other users actually found bugs. It's hard to have a bug when the code to read or write a particular format is nothing more than a skeleton of the required code. I contacted the author, back when the book was published, and he insisted he'd update the code to work. Subsequently, he seems to have gone into hiding. I don't blame him.

Perfect Candidate for the Nazi Book Burning Fires
This is BY FAR the worst computer related book I have ever touched. I seriously doubt that the Author even knew what he was doing when he decided to write this book. I purchased this book a while ago, and after trying to create working examples from his bug ridden code I became so distraught that I used this utterly worthless book for firewood. I have never seen anything like this before. Even books written by college professors for use with only thier classes have less errors and those books often have several pages missing and thousands of typos. So, if you are even considering buying this book, then do everyone a favor and DO NOT buy this failer of a book. Hopefully the author will lose money by writting books and as a result be forced to give up writing, which will be beneficial for everyone.

Absolutely terrible book
I bought this book only because I need to try to support the Kodak FlashPix format, and this book happened to have some code related to that format.Unfortunately for me, the code doesn't work.It constantlyreturns errors and cannot even open the FlashPix pictures that came withthe book on the CD.This is the second (and last) worthless computer bookI've bought from Wordware.I contacted then to see if maybe there had beenan update to fix the bad code on the CD, and they told me they don'tsupport the code contained in their books and that I would have to contactthe author.

One star is the lowest rating Amazon has, so that's what Ientered... but it deserves no stars and a whole mess of lemons becausethat's what this book is.

Save your hard ( or easy) earned money
I picked up this book in the Bargain book bin for $4.99 and paid five times its value. The book is poorly written, filled with errors and the CD ROM would make a good coaster. I gave this book 1 star but a 1/2 star ismore appropriate. ... Read more

Product Description
The Against the Clock Companion Series was designed to work together with application-specific training and skills development books. The books in the series provide background in fundamental design and artistic issues and complement the hands-on, skills-based approach of the Against the Clock applications titles. Courses can be found in Office Information Systems, Computer Science, and Fine Arts Departments, as well as Continuing Education, Journalism, and Printing and Lithography.Today's web design and site management tools have come a long way toward providing even inexperienced designers the tools they need to build complex pages. Little energy is focused, however, on making those pages look good. Simply having functional buttons, images, and even animations on your pages doesn't address fundamental design issues. What looks good? What works best at getting the viewer's attention? These questions and many others are the subject of the Web Design Companion for the Digital Artist.Starting with basic browser display issues, and moving on through the proper use of type elements, positioning and formatting of graphic objects, the inclusion of rich media objects, this book is a powerful addition to any application-specific web design text.Focusing on balance, readability, and effectiveness, this companion book is sure to improve the results of the reader's efforts. ...
