I've been using Authorware since early 98. This book started it all for me. Granted it is a book for beginners. You won't find anything in it for scripting, tracking users performance, etc. If you know nothing about Authorware, this is a great book to get your feet wet. If you have to start from somewhere and don't want to spend money for a course, this is the place to start.

I teach three Authorware Development classes for employees of my company. I use Authorware 4 Authorized for the Indroduction and Intermediate courses. The exercises are easy to follow and have real-world applications. I am also drawn to this book because it provides students with a copy of Authorware (50 icon version) to practice with at home. It is a great way for students to get familiar with Authorware before spending the money for the full version. If you are a beginner in self-study or are teaching a course in Authorware, you really should consider this book.

This book is ok for the beginner, but (as somebody else mentioned) next to useless for scripting. I wonder .... how can a book with such superficial sections on scripting get away with claiming to be a "comprehensive" reference? Similarly, how do the authors justify repeated suggestions that you look in other books for more info?!

This is a near perfect book on learning the fundamentals of Authorware. It builds knowledge from the ground up, and demystifyes this powerful authoring package. You learn why you are doing what you are doing, while you go through the tutorial. I was only disappointed in two things, but even these are trivial to the novice: 1) light treatment of functions and variables, it would be great to have a training book on writing authorware code. 2) Lack of fully built models and examples of real-life projects. The pieces included on the CD are small, and I found some of the graphics unprofessional. Overall, a must-buy for the newcommer to Authroware4. --Jason Merrill
