Another great book review

Let me re-iterate that if you are delivering a live event, or videos online, then this book is a must – plain and simple.

Another very positive 5-star review of my book, Video Compression for Flash, Apple Devices and HTML5, from Andy Stevenson. After describing the content, the last two paragraphs state:

The icing on the cake with this book, apart from the great information provided is that it is very easy to read. I have read other technical books that have been a chore to finish, which normally ended in my putting them back on the shelf, but this reads very well and takes the reader through the journey of what is required to deliver video content successfully on the internet, whether that is a live event, or video on demand. The author has been in working the video field for a long time and I’m sure he could have written a lot more on the subject. However, I think this would have been a mistake. The book does not provide the reader with an overwhelming amount of information, which is one of the reasons it is easy to read.

Let me re-iterate that if you are delivering a live event, or videos online, then this book is a must – plain and simple.

Thanks for taking the time to review the book, Andy, and thanks for the kind words.
