Adobe Edge Animate on Demand

Adobe Edge is a new web motion design tool that allows users to animated websites using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. Edge uses a familiar Adobe interface, borrowing the workspace and user interface conventions of After Effects and Flash Pro. Adobe Edge on Demandoffers readers a totally task-based approach to learning Edge. Using 4-color images with callouts to each step, tasks can be completed quickly and easily - without the frustration of searching through paragraphs of text to find the information to complete a task. The table of contents is set up in a task-based approach as well, so whether the reader wants to do something like Build an Edge Project, Change the Size of the Stage, or Use Auto-Keyframe Properties, they can quickly find that task right in the table of contents and find the specific step-by-step instructions to complete it. This book will also include 5 to 10 workshops in the back of the book to provide step by step training on accomplishing larger, more complex tasks that require multiple sets of steps to complete. Additional workshops along with the example files for the book will be made available online, to provide resources for the reader to use as they work through tasks. The workshops will also be available as videos for online usage.
