Publications: Print and Web As always, turn to the developer as a first choice for information. A wealth of information, support, downloads, papers, best practices, and referrals to a variety of ASN participants can be found at http://partners.adobe.com/public/main.html. Sign up for available resources found at http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html. There you will discover all kinds of resources, from the Adobe Studio chock full of ideas, tips, and techniques, to Adobe's new quarterly online magazine called Proxy (http://www.sadobeproxy.com/). Yet another new magazine new on the market is InDesign Magazine, published in association with Creativepro.com (www.creativepro.com). You can find it at http://www.indesignmag.com/idm/index.html. Creativepro.com is a great resource website for all your communication needs. You will find familiar names contributing to their editorial content and reviews. To learn more about the world of digital printing, turn to www.printondemand.com. Because, throughout the book, we frequently mention the making of PDFs as a reliable method for distributing content, I recommend Adobe's website for more information about this file format. You should also check out the huge PDF resource site http://www.planetpdf.com, as well as PDFzone (http://www.pdfzone.com/).
Finally, I recommend the following books: I am particularly fond of the reference book series Visual QuickStart Guides and recommend them to all my trainees as tried-and-true desk references. Aside from my book for your on-the-job projects, I also recommend InDesign CS for Mac and Windows by Sandee Cohen (Peachpit Press, ISBN 0321322010). It is well written and well organizedtruly a complete desk reference. Every publisher of content should have the Chicago Manual of Style, the style standard for best practices in publishing (University of Chicago Press Staff, ISBN 0226104036).
