Produktbeschreibung

Are you a web designer who is looking for a new and quicker way to prototype and create for the web? Perhaps you are a programmer who finds most design tools to be overkill for what you need to get done. Or, maybe you're an old Fireworks pro, who wants to get up-to-date on the changes in Creative Suite 4. Either way, this book has something for you.

• Coverage of all that's new and powerful for the Web designer and developer in Fireworks CS4
• Targets developers who want design tools that don't get in their way and designers who want development tools that don't constrain their creativity
• Do all your website and page prototypes and comps in one tool and learn how to take them straight to Dreamweaver to implement your designs
