MAKING MULTIMEDIA WITH LINKWAY

A Practical Guide To LinkWay and LinkWay Live!
by Paul David Henry

The problem of how to find clear, concise instructional information that
will not instantly become obsolete has long plagued users of multimedia
technology. All too often, users must confront dense, impenetrable jargon
when all they want is the answer to a simple question. Other times, the
user seeking a greater understanding of the subject will instead discover
the available information to be woefully incomplete.

If the above description seems to apply to the multitude of computer
reference works, then MAKING MULTIMEDIA WITH LINKWAY, published by Van
Nostrand Reinhold would seem to be the exception. Authoritative and
accessible, the book is an essential reference guide to the tools and
techniques associated with LinkWay and LinkWay Live!

Created in 1987, LinkWay has taken multimedia authoring to a new level,
superseding previous multimedia productions by virtue of its extensive
applications. Like its predecessor HyperCard for the Apple Macintosh,
LinkWay is building its own constituency among multimedia producers,
programmers and anyone involved in training and communications.

One of the most distinctive aspects of MAKING MULTIMEDIA WITH LINKWAY is
that the book uniquely reflects the medium it is attempting to explicate.
Introduced in the form of a guided tour, the book provides a gradual
progression from simple concepts to more advanced skills, resulting in
complete proficiency of LinkWay's many disciplines and technologies. In
addition, readers are instructed to use the book at their computers while
following the suggested activities and examples, further increasing
understanding.

"After seeing how LinkWay can be used in these exemplary multimedia
applications, you may conclude that it is far too professional or complex
an authoring program to be of much practical use for more limited
applications," says author Paul David Henry. "This may be a legitimate
conclusion for other authoring systems, but LinkWay serves both the novice
and professional because it is easy to learn and use."

Whether the reader is an expert in the field or a student first becoming
acquainted with multimedia, MAKING MULTIMEDIA WITH LINKWAY is
indispensable addition to any computer library.
