Learn how to deliver successful projects that are on time, on budget, and meet customer expectations through a comparison of how the narrative structure of various films compares to different process models for site development. Not only will you come away with a better understanding of how to approach your next Web development project, but you'll also gain a greater appreciation for the life lessons taught by some of your favorite Hollywood films.
