1996 is the year the World Wide Web became a true multimedia environment. More efficient communications technologies are providing greater bandwidth to Internet users, allowing them to access full audio, video, graphics and VR. This is a guide to developing multimedia programmes for the Web using the Macintosh platform - the dominant multimedia production environment. Developing "true" multimedia programmes, that require a fuller integration of visual and audio components than current Web pages, requires new Web development methods that blend techniques from both traditional multimedia and the new generation of Web production programmes. The book details critical multimedia development technologies, tools and issues and how developers can use all available techniques and tools together.
