New Titles (page 2)

We're just going to say it; put it out on the table: this book is intimidating. It's not for someone who thinks, "I heard of metadata, I think I want to learn more." This is for the hardcore - metadata person. If you're brave, this well written book does cover some of the basics like "What is a Markup Language?" and "What is a Command Line?" This 530-page hard cover "text book" is for multimedia professionals. The tome is not cluttered with unnecessary screen shots, graphs, graphics or empty space. A good amount of programming languages are incorporated to illustrate powerful programming tools and user techniques on a variety of platforms. About half the book is background information while the second half contains over 60 tutorials. Also included are five appendixes, a glossary, a bibliography and a webliography of useful URLs.
