Check out our new hybrid editions for Introduction to Web Design and Introduction to Multimedia. The Student Editions contain the core concepts that don’t change. The Online Student Manuals include projects that allow students to apply these concepts using the latest application software. So, for example, if you change from Adobe CS3 to CS4, the only new purchase required is the new Online Student Manual for CS4, at a fraction of the cost of a regular textbook. And if you purchase a 6 year license, the update is free!
