Product Description |
Dreamweaver CS3, now included as part of Adobe's Creative Suite 3, is the leading professional Web design and development application in the market, and is a must-have tool for any Web designer or developer. Dreamweaver CS3 offers new CSS layouts, a unified CSS panel, and CSS visualization tools that let users create interactive Web sites without having to delve into code. Dreamweaver users can now create dynamic interfaces using the Spry framwork for Ajax. (Spry is 99% HTML, so it's accessible to both designers and developers). Spry widgets (pre-built user interface components) let users quickly add common user interface components to Web pages. Each chapter in this full-color book contains a project that builds upon the reader's growing knowledge of Dreamweaver, while review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce the most important skills. Readers will learn how to customize a Dreamweaver workspace, apply cascading style sheets, enter headline and body text, insert graphics and rollovers, and add links to a page. They'll also learn how to add interactive elements to their site, such as behaviors, effects, and Flash video; add new code or code snippets; and publish their finished site to the Web.
SPECIAL NOTE: Before starting the lessons in the book visit www.peachpit.com/dwcs3cib for important lesson and project file updates.

Good book for beginners and semi-advanced users |
|
This is a great book, especially for beginning users of Dreamweaver, but also for those who may have had a class or two in college and feel like they need a little bit more in-depth instruction. |

Another Great CIB from Adobe! |
|
I have used several of Adobe's Classroom in a Book (CIB) workbooks and this is just another example of a great class. I learned a bunch, was reminded of things I had forgotten about Dreamweaver from previous versions/classes, and thoroughly enjoyed the quick, easy-to-use format! I got more out of this book than I did out of an extremely expensive week-long course. The only down-side - there are a few type-o's in the text (it must be a gift - I find them in ALL the books I read!). Other than that - I loved it! |

ADOBE DREAMWEAVER CLASSROOM IN A BOOK HARD TO USE |
|
After working with Dreamweaver and this book extensively I have come to the conclusion that it must have been written by someone in India to save money. It lacks the proper descriptions and illustrations that are critical to learning from it, parts and points are missing in the lessons that make it very difficult to use and in chapter 9 entitled " Working With Spry " there is a bug in the software making the lesson impossible to finish ! You can (and I did) learn from it but it's torture. Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Revealed by Sherry Bishop is way better. |

Truly Disappointing |
|
I purchased this book to try to teach myself Dreamweaver. I have never read any of the Classroom in a Book series and I'm feeling very ripped off. I've never used the application or any other web authoring software and I don't know HTML, so I though this was a good place to start. WRONG! The information presented in the book is so superficial, hard to understand and asks you to follow their instruction without any background or understanding of what you're really doing. The worst thing is, I also bought the Classroom in a Book for Flash at the same time. Truly a waste of money. |

Do Not Buy This Book |
|
They have you clicking on commands without knowing why. If you plan to build a website exactly like the one in the book you'll be ok. If you want to set up a CSS style sheet with your own design, good luck. In other words they do not teach, they do not explain. The book merely has you following along to finish a website they have already started for you. I got through chapter 7. I'm at Americancivilwar today to find another book. Complete wast of my valuable time. |
