specializing in digital media technologies

Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of myself, the technical editor, the copy editor, and the line editor, despite the multiple revisions, errors still occur. This page lists all the errors found in the book.

Note: errors are corrected in subsequent printings and therefore your particular copy may not contain all of the following.

You may also find the solution to your problem by using the book's corresponding forum. Signficant changes in the technology will be addressed there and you can also find problems and solutions encountered by other readers.
