Beginner in need of book recommendation

I'm a beginner to CS3 Flash and in need of book or tutorial
recommendations. I have the Flash "Classroom in a Book" and it's
been somewhat helpful. However, a lot of what I want to do, is
import parts of a collage print from CS3 photoshop and animate
them. I am having problems with importing layers from Photoshop and
animating these layers in Flash. Are there any books or tutorials
that go into more detail on this aspect of flash? The other book
that I'm thinking about is Peachpit's Adobe Flash CS3 Professional
Hands-On Training. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou

of the text is in jpeg form, which means search engines are limited
to the page titles. Is there a way to keep the layout but make the
text searchable by the engines? Does the question make sense? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the question makes perfect sense.
Fireworks is a graphics program. The HTML that Fireworks
produces is intended for prototypes - quick examples you can show
people to see if you're on the right track with a design. The
Fireworks HTML is not robust enough to use for a production site.
What you want to do is use either a program that's designed for
creating robust HTML (such as Dreamweaver) or learn to write HTML
by hand in a text editor. It isn't really that hard.
What you have now is a mess. It would be impossible to
maintain. Just looking at your file info%20links.HTML is a
nightmare. It doesn't need to look like that...and it shouldn't.
(Also, naming conventions. That %20 is what happens to spaces in
your file name. It's better to remove spaces or use hyphens
instead. Underscores are okay, but they tend to get lost if a file
name is also a link and becomes underlined. Use lowercase for file
extensions.)
Even if you have Dreamweaver or another Web authoring
program, you really ought to learn what it is you're doing. Check
out
this
earlier thread for some recommendations.
Good luck!

I Need a Book Recommendation

Hi
I am going to be building 2D games foe the for seeable future. Games like Bed Bugs, Flight Control, Rolando etc are how I would build them using 2D. So if anybody knows any good books specifically dedicated to iPhone game programming, much would be appreciated.
Like I say, I have found many books. but they seem to emphasize 3D. Should I be simply looking at using 2D Quartz?
Unsure.

yes.
I am hoping some one can really tell me, what and where I can and know how to use what platform for simple, seamless 2D (like south park, flight control, shift).
I can understand this,
making a class in xCode. with in it, a UIView which is our character. Say he needs two frames/cells of drawings/images to look like he is running. I could create a function which switched back and forth on the touch of a connected button. That much I understand, but if I want to move him, across plain X, what do i do?
Use 2d Quartz, Open GL, or is it just code like I am suggesting.
Am I missing something about animations and XCode Cocoa apps?

Need to book & pay outward freight before Receipt of FG - Subcontracting

Dear All,
" In case of Subcontracting, we are required to pay both, Outward Freight on material sent to Party for Job Work & Inward Freight on Material received from the party. While raising PO, the Freight amount is considered to include both Inward & Outward Freight but only single Freight GRN is prepared on receipt of Material. Unless GRN is prepared we are unable to book Outward Freight Bill in SAP thru MIRO & process payment."
We need to book & pay the outward freight before GRN( Receipt of FG) and load the freight cost on Material.
Regards,
PKSharma

Hi,
If I book the Outward Freight through MIRO before GRN system will not load the correct amount on Material as at the time of
GRN we have to book Inward Freight cost also.
Thanks

AJAX book recommendation

I have been a Java developer since 1995 and am very experienced in writing rich client applications.
I would like to learn how to write rich Internet applications using AJAX and am looking for book recommendations, preferably using Java EE for the server side.
Thanks.

I think if you google Learning AJAX or AJAX tutorial, you will also discover very good books on the language and lots of suggestion with regards to book on the topic.

Book recommendation for Content Networking?

Hi,
Is there any books outhere on cisco CSS, GSS for a good readup?
I know there's a whole lot of docs fr univercd, but was wondering if there are actually books on these products?
Thanks.

Thank you for your book recommendation. This sounds like an excellent book for learning Flash. From the description on Amazon, the emphasis of this book is on learning Flash with just a little information about ActionScript 3. Perhaps there is enough ActionScript 3 information in this book to get a good foundation with ActionScript, to learn the terminology and syntax?

Book Recommendation for Fathers Day?

I'm waiting for Illustrator CS4 Wow! to come out here in the UK as my next book purchase and I already have a couple of basic manual replacement books which I am steadily ploughing through. I wonder if anyone could suggest a couple of titles I could give to my kids to distract them from the inevitible cheap aftershave alternative?
I would like either a book that discusses more intermediate issues in Illy rather than the kind of very basic manual replacement books or if you're up for it, suggest a couple of illustration techniques that might be useful and help with my drawing. I realised pretty quickly that a) Photoshop isn't good at taking your photos, b) Dreamweaver isn't that good at writing your code and c) Illustrator isn't up to drawing your drawings - Maybe a clickable "Inspiration Panel" should be a feature request?
So either any recommendations for drawing techniques that would be useful for digital art and/or recommendations for interemediate level Illustrator techniques?
Many thanks
Martin

Thanks for the suggestion but that's one of the books I already have
and think it's one of the best Adobe Software help books I have out of
all of them. It's really well written and covers a lot of material in
a practical way. The other Illustrator book I have is by Deke
McClelland which I find to be more like a reference manual than Mordy
Golding's.

Book recommendation for newbie

I know the basics of Flash CS4, and would like to extend my knowledge by learning about ActionScript 3. My background is in graphic design (not math, not programming). Can anyone help with a book recommendation that would get me started with the basics of ActionScript 3?

Thank you for your book recommendation. This sounds like an excellent book for learning Flash.

Need to have a webpage for my book, recommendations on where?

My book has been very recently put up on iTunes...looking for information on webpages.
Any recommendations on where to setup a webpage?

Okay, I will do my best to explain a little more...although the information you have given is helpful.
I am looking for a place to setup a webpage...I have never had a webpage and I am learning about how to go about the process. Is it necessary to have a domain? Or can I do everything I need to with a free webpage like through Yahoo?
thank you for any help you can give...

Java Book - Recommendations Needed.

Recommendations for a good BEGINNERS book please.

If you're completely new to programming then I'd suggest checking out some of the older books on first principles that they'll have available in your college library.
This kind of foundation will massively reduce the learning curve for any language.
Then hit the 2nd hand bookstores and find an earlier edition of one of the books mentioned above. All the marketing crap claiming that a new edition is completely updated is irrelevant to your needs. The core language has changed very little in about 6 years, (since the abortion that was the 1.0 event model was justifiably taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot), so anything 1.1 and onwards will suffice as long as you can get access to the errata pages on the web.
Of course, the best approach is simply to use the free resources on this and other sites because the programming manuals aren't overly useful to students entering the field for the first time. I say this because you'll probably be looking at two types of task:
1) Practical programming (probably so simplistic that you'll be able to solve with reference to the API docs)
2) Theoretical stuff (Better to look to academic books, trade journals, etc.)
Try:

All -
I'm interesting in learning how to integrate sqlplus within BASH scripts. We run Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g on SPARC hardware. I want to create some small databases and interact with those within BASH scripts with sqlplus. Can anyone recommend a good book or online tutorial where I can find information on that? I'm already well versed in BASH, just need to learn the sqlplus side. I'm not a programmer so perl/java/python etc are not options. The sort of tasks I want to accomplish are simple queries, inserting/deleting data. All suggestions appreciated.

You are doing it the hard way, but see http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Scripts#Unix_Shell_Scripts
Basically, you need to know sql and pl/sql, whether you use bash or whatever. You ought to become adept with sqlplus and sqldeveloper, and you really need to understand relational concepts. Tom Kyte's books are real good for understanding important concepts, there are plenty of sql books, I'm not familiar with what is good at the basic level these days so I won't comment.
You do need to read the Concepts guide, see the book list from the sql doc reference you got. The simple fact you said "small databases" indicates you may already have some basic misconceptions.
If you are writing shell scripts, you are a programmer, whether you like it or not.
You might seriously consider downloading XE, so you can get simple things running quick, and then start delving in from the sql side.We have Oracle running already, maintaining massive DNS databases. However we have other applications that interact with the database so we don't need to know SQL in order to do our thing. So, my knowledge of SQL commands is pretty basic at the moment (simple queries, small record changes). When I say "small database", I'm referring to a roughly 150 record, 8 field database that updates at most 10 records per week, as opposed to our DNS database which contains over a million records with dozens of local and remote users using a java web platform. I'd like to become adept at sqlplus and the references you have provided are most helpful plus get a better understanding of SQL in general.
As for programming, while I do write large scripts, I'm not a trained programmer. I come from the electronics side as a former field service engineer who moved into IT after 20 years. I'm self taught on the programming side and learning as I need to accomplish tasks. Thus I've dabbled in creating web pages and web sites, writing simple SQL commands, working with XML etc, but have a long way to go in that respect.
Thanks for your input.

Book Recommendation Needed re RAW and Lightroom

I use Lightroom but also use Photoshop for some additional touch up work...nothing major.
I work in RAW.
I have the Aaland and Kelby books on Lightroom but wonder whether I shouldn't also have a good reference on Camera RAW for CS3 available.
I'm looking at the Fraser book and the Aaland book as possibilities.
Any recommendations appreciated.
Thanks.
Mark

I've found book requirements are often in the eyes and needs of the end user. Photoshopnews posted a book roundup article at the end of the year that contains several good titles at http://photoshopnews.com/2007/12/21/a-book-roundup-of-2007 Hopefully the link works.
Specifically for Camera raw, my most worn book (at least until the latest version was released) was Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2 by Bruce Fraser. Jeff Schewe completed the CS3 update sharing co-authoring credits with Bruce Fraser. It is my "go to" reference book for anything camera raw. It also has cross-applicability to LR.
Some of also learn visually. Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe filmed a multi-hour tutorial on LR 1.0 w/ a 1.1 update and they just completed shooting a tutorial on Camera Raw. The LR video is available at luminous-landscape.com and the camera RAW video is still in production--at least that's what the post at photoshopnews said. I found the video very informative and entertaining. Michael and Jeff play well off each other and have an obvious passion for what they're doing.
In the end, go to the bookstore, browse through some books and see if any of them discuss the things you're currently trying do with RAW and PS.

Book recommendations needed

I was given the task of installing and maintain a RAC environment at my job. I was able to successfully get something set up but I have zero experience in anything Oracle, let alone doing something like RAC. I was looking to get 1 or 2 books to help get myself familiarized with the whole thing. I have ones on Oracle 11g but I'm realizing there is a whole other level of complexity when you introduce RAC. Can anyone suggest books? I was looking at the following two:
Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters Handbook Link
Oracle 11g Grid & Real Application Clusters Link

11g has new features and many enhancements and I would recommend you to go for 11g Book.
Oracle 11g Grid & Real Application Clusters
I highly recommend to go through Oracle Documentaion libraty.
