Synopsis

The multi-user web - from simple chat-rooms and auction spaces, all the way to realtime multi-user games and virtual reality environments - is the principal growth field in web-design. This book is a sophisticated compendium of techniques exploring the exciting new arena of the multi-user web interface.

The Internet works in real-time and is accessible to anyone with a modem. The importance of this for a web designer working in the brave new broadband world is that multi-user interactivity is the way to go if you want to create a really slick-looking modern site. Sites like HabboHotel.com and futurefarmers.com have already created a multi-user interface where designers can interact with other designers as well as the virtual world surrounding them - creating a true online community.

A collection of professional designers provide tutorials on how to construct multi-user environments. This book assumes you know how Director and Flash work (expect no hand-holding with the basics). Exploring areas such as how XML works with Flash can be integrated into design, Multi-User Web Studio will show you the sophisticated techniques used by professionals currently creating the most exciting multi-user interfaces.
