Sams Teach Yourself Macromedia Flash Mx in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself in 24 Hours)

Phillip Kerman is an independent programmer, teacher, and writer specializing in Macromedia products. His degree in Imaging and Photographic Technology from the Rochester Institute of Technology was earned back when "multimedia" had a different meaning from today. One of Phillip's internships, for example, involved programming multiple slide projector presentations with dissolves synchronized to a sound track;the multimedia of the 1980s. In 1993, he found Macromedia Authorware a natural fit for his interest and skills. After getting his start at The Human Element, Inc., he moved back to Portland, Oregon, to work on his own.

Phillip has transitioned his expertise from Authorware to Director and, now, to Flash. Over eight years, he has had to adapt to a total of 16 version upgrades; Flash MX being the most significant of them all! In addition to retooling and building his own skills, Phillip finds teaching the biggest challenge. He has trained and made presentations around the world, in such exotic locations as Reykjavik, Iceland; Melbourne, Australia; Amsterdam, Holland; and McAlester, Oklahoma. His writing has appeared in such publications as Macworld, Macromedia User Journal, and his self-published The Phillip Newsletter (http://www.phillipkerman.com/newsletter).

Phillip is also the author of ActionScripting in Flash MX from New Riders Publishing.
