There are chapters devoted to each media type, detailing how it is represented in digital form and what demands are placed on computer systems. Later chapters cover design principles and accessibility, XML, SMIL and SVG, creating interaction through scripting and networking media. There are end-of-chapter exercises as well as suggestions for projects and a glossary of terms. A prologue by Prof. Brent MacGregor of Edinburgh Coll. of Art examines the creative challenge presented by these new media.
