The Book...

...describes Microsoft's premier suite of software development tools: Visual Studio 97.

My co-authors described all the programming tools, and I wrote the section on Microsoft's multimedia creation and management tools: "Web Content Creation Tools and Utilities". It covers Microsoft Image Composer (Microsoft's answer to Photoshop), Microsoft Music Producer, and Microsoft Media Manager.
