An excellent starting point |
|
The author gives you a good workout in practicing many of the common tasks that you will need in using Dreamweaver. All the exercises work just the way he describes in the book (as is not always the case). He does not thoroughly explain WHY you need to do these tasks, but he goes a long way to making the program approachable, at least. I found that I also needed more knowledge of XHTML (I used XHTML Essential Training by William Weinman) and an actual Dreamweaver training class to bring it all into focus. Dreamweaver is more difficult than I expected, and I am very experienced with the other Adobe products. |

Great book |
|
I read many reviews of many books before I bought this one. This was a great choice. The exercises provide hands-on practice to see how elements of the program work rather than just reading about them. It doesn't go into great detail explaining the theory behind the workings - there are plenty of other books for that, ie. the Dreamweaver Bible. Everything is presented in a straightforward manner. Great for a beginner, like me. This isn't a book for someone who is already a seasoned web designer. It is meant to get the novice up and running with the program. It also has additional training videos on the CD and a 24hr access to Lynda.com - a great site for finding training of all sorts. |

very good training |
I was compelled to buy this book because I am taking a Dreamweaver course at the local community college. We're most of the way through it now, and I've learned a lot, and feel pretty comfortable using dreamweaver now. For the class I'm taking the instructor pretty much just has us read each chapter of the book, follow along with the exercises in the book, then do little projects from what we learn. The point is though, the learning that we're doing is like 90% from reading the book, and if you want to cut to the chase and not bother with a class like mine, just picking up this book is a pretty nice option.
One other option that you might consider instead of this book, check out the video training by this same author. I've watched enough of it to know that it's pretty darn good, and it covers the same material that the book does. I think watching the video is in some ways a nicer, easier, more visual way to learn, but the advantage of having the book is that it also serves as a decent reference once you've been through it. Something to consider... but both are really good. |

Great book to learn Dreamweaver CS3 |
|
This book makes Dreamweaver very clear, and when I have a question, it is always answered in the next sentence. It is so clear and easy to understand. It has a cd in the back with excercises in it for every chapter. Then the illustion in the chapter will show you how it is supposed to look....just like a text book!! Very well written and easy to follow. I have computer experience but not much with web design, so I am basically a beginner. Thanks. |

Very good, but what about frames? |
|
This was a great book for me, who is switching from GoLive. The section on CSS was very detailed and contained just the information I needed to get started with CSS. However, there is no discussion of frames at all. |
