This is the one... Got it used (great price) from an Amazon Book Seller... What an amazing book... I have a few books on Dreamweaver, starting with version 2... This is the one I've been looking for... I'm now using Dreamweaver 8 and wanted a book I could use as a reference as well as a "How To"... Easy to find what I'm looking for, without a lot of reading to get there... It's big, It's heavy, Easy to read, Easy to understand, and the most useful of all the Dreamweaver books I own... I finally found it :-)
One of the best book yet for Dreamweaver The best feature about this book is that it shows you screen shots and gives step by step instructions. I have for years been trying to teach myself about Dreamweaver, now this book helps me to better understand what Dreamweaver can do to make your Website really stand out.
Great Dreamweaver book Book goes into great depth to show most of the features in Dreamweaver 8. The book puts its topics in alphabetical order so that it is easy to find what you need.
Outstanding Reference Tool I teach in the same district as and have worked with one of the authors (Kim Cavanaugh) and found this book on the shelf and decided to pick it up for that reason. I like the layout of it because if you need help on CSS, you simply go to that section because it's in ABC order. As another rater stated, you do need some background in Dreamweaver but I was able to pick up some of the techniques from it. If you want a training book you'll need to look elsewhere but it doesn't tout itself as that kind of book. It's richly illustrated and the steps are nicely described. It will be a great addition to anybody's library.
Heavy duty -- in the best possible way! This book is heavy in more ways than one. For one thing, it's a big thick, glossy tome that weighs a lot. However, the good news is that it's worth its wait in gold! Never have a seen such an accessible, comprehensive aid for getting things done with Dreamweaver. It's task and tool based, with every step illustrated in color. Makes it incredibly easy to do use just about every aspect of the product. You just look up the task or tool and voilla! Fortunately, it's accessibility doesn't limit its utility, so this book is also for experienced DW users. I'm amazed at the sophistication of the techniques, even though they're presented in a way that make them head-smacking easy. This just could be the best overall book on Dreamweaver yet.
