Customer Reviews

Avoid
Far too complicated for beginners, too simple for professional users, the book seems to be perpetually in search of its audience. The author has a lot of enthusiasm for her subject but not the understanding of her readers. This is a great pity, as the idea is good - to create a book that can be used both as a guide and as a reference manual. A great deal of knowledge is assumed straight at the beginning and nowhere is this as clear as in the first couple of chapters where CSS springs up without ever being defined or explained. Examples are few and far between.

good intro to Dreamweaver
This is an excellent introduction to Dreamweaver CS3 for people who are familiar with web technologies but who have never worked with Dreamweaver. It covers the basics quickly and even goes into a number of best pratices and advanced topics. For example, it covers css positioning and layout as a more modern alternative to using tables. This makes it easier to design for alternate device browsers like cell phones or PDAs. It also has chapters on dynamic, data base driven, web sites.

If you know web technologies, this book can get you up to speed in Dreamweaver CS3 in a few days.

What I needed
This book is just what I needed to get me started in Dreamweaver. I had used an older version of Frontpage - that did not prepare me for the complexity of this new program. The book, being especially for the CS3 version, has clear illustrations of the panels, etc. It's still very complex. Janine Warner has more resources on the internet that I will check out too. The little tips and hints throughout the Dummies books alert you to things of importance. This book helped me to understand the language needed to be able to use the Adobe on-line tutorials. The only thing is that I had to ink out the big "Dummies" on the cover of the book- it helps to learn when I don't think of myself that way!
