Customer Reviews

A little confusing
The lesson files really did come very helpful except for the instructions on the book - I find it somewhat confusing.

Awesome
I'll keep this short and sweet:
This book taught me all I needed to know about Dreamweaver in order to create a couple nice websites. If you're a beginner with no previous Dreamweaver (or any other website builder software) like I was then you'll have no problem reading this well written book. After a few chapters and following along with the tutorial you really will be able to create simple websites. Keep reading and you'll master all the aspects of modern day website building. Hands down this is one of the best learning books I've read in a long time and the tutorial is great.
