Customer Reviews

Great, step by step, walkthrough
This book (and included CD) contains a great set of exersizes to teach you how to use Dreamweaver 8. It was very much a step by step walkthrough of the basics of Dreamweaver.

Good intro
This book served as a good introduction to the powerful toolset Dreamweaver 8 offers as well as laying the groundwork for foundation CSS and design concepts. If your an experienced Dreamweaver user, this book might be something you can skip as it seems geared more towards beginner to intermidediate.

Great starting step for new Dreamweaver users.
