The book you're reading about right now was created with Adobe
InDesign CC. And that's the case no matter which reading format you
prefer--whether it's the physical book made of plant fiber and ink, or
the digital version made of electrons in an e-reader. In fact, most of
the books, magazines, posters, and brochures you see were likely made
with InDesign as well. It's all around you.
Adobe InDesign CC: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features is
your guide to building publications great or small in this ubiquitous
page layout application. First, with a complete Course that includes a
set of projects and lessons derived from the curriculum of award-winning
and Adobe Certified Instructor Steve Laskevitch, you will learn the
procedures needed to use InDesign professionally. Dozens of lessons are
included that can be applied to any document you have in mind:
engineering proposals, marketing collateral, spec sheets, magazines,
newsletters, books, and more. Through these step-by-step lessons, you'll
be exposed to all of InDesign's features in practical contexts and its
best practices for publishing workflows.
To complete the Course, we'll supply lesson documents and their assets
to download. These can even serve as starting points for your own
projects.
Then, for greater depth of knowledge and subsequent reference, you'll
use the Compendium to uncover more of the "how" and "why" of InDesign
and publishing tech in general. With each topic easy to access, you can
find and explore all of InDesign's key features and concepts in depth.
With cross references between the Course and Compendium, the two parts
of the book complement each other perfectly. Best of all, when the
lessons in the Course are done, the Compendium will continue to serve
for months and years to come.

"I've known Steve for over 20 years, and have always admired his
empathy and passion for generously sharing his knowledge with others. He
leverages his deep understanding of InDesign and takes the time to share
what he hears from users to advocate on their behalf directly to the
InDesign team to make the product better. This book will definitely help
you become a more efficient InDesign user."

"Steve's long relationship with Adobe InDesign and the people who
actually built it make him the ideal person to guide any designer
through the rich toolset that is Adobe InDesign. While his smouldering
good looks and James Bond-like sophistication will not be of any value
to the reader, his in-depth knowledge, years of delivering training,
patience and good humour almost certainly will."
