This document summarizes a book that provides step-by-step instructions for designing and developing interactive multimedia video applications in Flash. The book is intended for students, teachers, and others interested in creating digital learning materials. It presents the design process over four parts and three example projects to demonstrate incorporating static images, screen recordings, and animation into video content. The goal is to enable readers with basic computer skills to develop their own multimedia applications by following the book's simple methods and techniques.

17. The book ‘Develop Your Own Multimedia Application!’ has been designed to
enable a person to move as quickly as possible at intermediate stages, which can
result in the development of your own application.
The main characteristic of the book is simplicity: the simplest methods and
techniques and the most simple software tools produce the expected results.
Another important feature of the book is a step-by-step approach that
describes the design process of a multimedia application.
Regarding several of the concepts and/or terms associated with software
design, the book assumes that the reader (user) has some prior knowledge from his
training in basic computer skills. Therefore, informative explanations are only provided
when necessary.

19. I formulate the following opinion about this book:
This book constitutes a practical guide (step-by-step
handbook) for creating interactive video software in Flash format,
which incorporates multimedia elements and operates on Windows
and Mac as a desktop application or web app. The book clearly
presents the required steps for designing and developing a
multimedia application; the book is intended for a user with basic
computer skills.
