Adobe(R) InDesign(R) 2.0 Classroom in a Book

If you're looking for thorough, at-home training in any Adobe application, the Classroom in a Book series is a good choice. Slow, deliberate pacing is a hallmark of these well-written books. Readers work through a wide variety of projects using professional-quality graphics and fonts (supplied on a companion CD-ROM). Rather than the personal "avoid-the-mistakes-I-made" quality of many how-tos, the series employs a more serious tone befitting books that are recognized as part of the official Adobe certification training.
Readers begin with a Quick Tour tutorial that briefly covers all of the basics--working with tools and palettes, placing graphics and text. It's a great first dip in the water for those coming from QuarkXPress. From there, the lessons focus in more depth on specific areas: the work environment, setting up a new document with master pages, working with colors and gradients, importing and linking graphics, drawing with vectors, adjusting typography and editing text, creating tables, working with XML, exporting to PDF, color management, and much more. The lessons work best when followed sequentially; each includes many smaller tips that become helpful in later lessons. Sidebars feature handy information from the user's guide. (Although a trial version of the application does not come on the CD-ROM, it's available for download at Adobe.com.)

It's the Photoshop- and Illustrator-type features within InDesign that make it so much more fun to use than rival Quark. This book shows you how to do cool things with transparencies, blending modes, feathered edges, and drop shadows, a lot of which is new to version 2.0. There are also exercises that cover less wow-inducing (but just as time-saving) tools for creating indexes and making tables.

Frequent illustrations and screen shots help readers monitor their progress. Chapter summaries and review questions let beginners test their confidence in the material before moving on, and allow experienced users to skip material they already know.

The book has a few minor errors, a couple of which might just be platform related. Despite these, Adobe InDesign 2.0 Classroom in a Book is the best way to learn a powerful application that makes print design a breeze. --Angelynn Grant

Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) 6.0 and Illustrator(R) 9.0 Advanced Classroom in a Book

This book is part of Adobe's official training and certification program and assumes readers have completed Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and Adobe Illustrator 9.0 Classroom in a Book, or have an equivalent skill level. Like the other books in the series, it comprises a set of step-by-step intensive and detailed tutorials meant to be carried out on the computer as the reader follows the text (lesson files are on the CD-ROM). The more advanced skills covered include compositing and masking, mastering pen tools, typography and layout, and preparing art for print or the Web. By including both Photoshop and Illustrator projects in one book, readers can learn the pros and cons of using either one for different tasks.
Each project begins with a list of goals, what skill level is preferred, and roughly how long the tutorial should take to complete. Despite the preferred skill prerequisites, one of the advantages of this carefully written Classroom in a Book is that less advanced readers will still be able to follow along with the deliberately paced projects. The rationale behind each step is clearly explained, and sidebars go into even greater detail on related issues (for example, "Specifying knockout options" appears alongside the lesson on working with masks).

For readers who prepare art for offset printing, this book explains how the new color management in Photoshop 6 works by going over the production workflow for a hypothetical printed postcard. Choosing a color profile; soft-proofing and color separating an image; and working with an embedded profile--not to mention preparing Illustrator artwork for print--can all be daunting topics to those who just want to create the visuals. But by learning it all correctly, straight from the team at Adobe, readers will acquire the necessary skill sets to prevent those embarrassing errors that sometimes are discovered only after the job has already been printed. --Angelynn Grant

This guide walks you through the entire Web authoring process, teaching you how to use the nuts and bolts of HTML to build your Web page. You've got to feel good about a guide that tells you that "if you can dial a telephone or find your keys in the morning, you too can become an HTML author."
The authors start with the premise that you're a true beginner. The first part of the book covers the history of the Web, what a browser is, how HTML is used, and what it takes to access the Web. The book then dives into HTML basics, page layout, and instructions on how to build your first basic Web page. Part 2 explains what a markup language is and how HTML works. This section provides an overview of each HTML tag, highlights special characters, and shows you how to add templates, lists, and links to your Web pages. Part 3 covers relatively advanced areas such as tables, attractive Web design, complex pages, forms, style sheets, image maps, navigation aids, and finally going live with your site.

Part 4 contains the famous "Part of Tens" section that is in each Dummies book, plus HTML's Top Ten Do's and Don'ts, Ten Design Desiderata, and Nearly Ten Ways to Exterminate Web Bugs. Extras on the CD-ROM include overviews on testing your pages, working with Dynamic HTML, frames, Common Gateway Interface (CGI), and more. The CD-ROM also has shareware and examples of HTML that are used in the book. --Elizabeth Lewis --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This fun and friendly guide starts with a detailed overview of exactly what virtualization is and exactly how it works, and then takes you on a tour of the benefits of a virtualized environment, such as added space in overcrowded data centers, lower operations costs through more efficient infrastructure administration, and reduced energy costs through server consolidation.

Perform a server virtualization cost versus benefit analysis
Weigh server virtualization options
Choose hardware for your server virtualization project
Create a virtualized software environment
Migrate to—and manage—your new virtualized environment
