Synopsis

The first book dedicated to the Flash design and implementation issues of next-generation wireless appliances, including PDAs, cell phones and other small-screen devices! As the first book in its field, Flash Design for Mobile Devices is dedicated to the design issues of next-generation wireless appliances. The book has two goals: 1) to introduce designers to the language, design process and user-experience of wireless and mobile devices and 2) to provide concise style guidelines for the application of design techniques to the small screen. Given these goals, the book begins on a conceptual level and works its way to the nuts and bolts of small-screen issues.
