Learn how to integrate Macromedia FreeHand and Flash to create vector-based graphics for print and the Web with the official Macromedia training guide for Flash 5 and Freehand 10 Studio, based on the curricula used in Macromedia's own training centers. Project-based tutorial approach leads users through the lessons in the book at their own pace and includes practice files on the CD-ROM.

• Covers the latest version of Macromedia Director MX. >• Quickly gets readers up-to-speed on all of the product's new features, including the streamlined Macromedia MX user interface, Mac OS X support, and new workflow efficiencies. >• More than 335 million Web users have already installed Macromedia Shockwave Player--the software used to play Macromedia Director MX projects.

This book takes readers through several real world graphic and Web design projects designed to show how FreeHand can augment and enhance Macromedia Flash MX, making the two programs a complete solution for what Macromedia calls multipublishing. Each lesson features one project, and each project uses components of both FreeHand and Macromedia Flash. Readers will learn how to combine text and graphics, work with paths and points, use layers and styles, and prepare files for print or the Web. From there, users can easily drag and drop design concepts and illustrations from FreeHand's workspace into Macromedia Flash MX, maintaining symbols and layers, and then instantly publish to the Macromedia Flash MX Player. The enclosed CD contains all the files users need to complete each project, plus completed files for users to compare with their own results.

Creating dynamic, database-driven Web sites used to be too cumbersome for anyone but serious hand-coding programmers. Now, thanks to Dreamweaver's improved code generation tools, developers can use Dreamweaver MX and ColdFusion MX to bypass the hurdles. Written by certified instructors, this guide eases readers into creating complex Web applications using these improved code generation tools.

"This book examines the process of transformation as it relates to the tourism industry, and the changes to that industry from modern electronic communications. It covers not only geographically supportive technologies in communication, but also in terms of culture, economics, marketing, social, and regional issues"--Provided by publisher.

The rapid development of information communication technologies (ICTs) is having a profound impact across numerous aspects of social, economic, and cultural activity worldwide, and keeping pace with the associated effects, implications, opportunities, and pitfalls has been challenging to researchers in diverse realms ranging from education to competitive intelligence.

Developments in technologies have evolved in a much wider use of technology throughout science, government, and business; resulting in the expansion of geographic information systems. GIS is the academic study and practice of presenting geographical data through a system designed to capture, store, analyze, and manage geographic information. Geographic Information Systems: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a collection of knowledge on the latest advancements and research of geographic information systems. This book aims to be useful for academics and practitioners involved in geographical data.
