To get the most out of this book
You will need Adobe Animate 2021 or a later version installed on a compatible macOS or Windows computer in order to most effectively follow along with this book. A full Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is the most beneficial way of doing this, as you'll get access to the Adobe Fonts service we use in certain projects and will have additional access to useful software such as Photoshop, Fresco, and Dimension to create content for use within your Animate projects. For the web-based projects in this book, an up-to-date web browser is highly recommended as well.
Also refer to the Animate System Requirements page for specific hardware and software specifications: https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/system-requirements.html.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
