Book Description
GoLive CS2 is more than just a simple Web authoring tool: As part of Adobe's updated Creative Suite 2, it's a key component of an overall Web workflow that lets you work seamlessly among all of your graphics applications to create spectacular Web sites. This info-packed guide lets users get right down to doing by focusing on just the GoLive features they're mostly like to use and showcasing each in stand-alone tips–complete with a relevant hint or two and a graphic example. In this fashion, you learn just what you need to know, exploring the program in a way that makes sense to you. Before you know it, you'll be importing layered Photoshop files into GoLive, creating PDF files from within the GoLive environment, and using the visual layout grid and Cascading Style Sheets to turn out fluid, gorgeous Web pages. Also covered are all of GoLive CS2's new features: enhanced live rendering, mobile CSS support, Visual CVG-Tiny authoring and more.

Reader Reviews
GoLive is Adobe's web site authoring package that is included as part of their Creative Suite 2 (along with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat). GoLive is an interesting package that presents quite a different view to the developer than more traditional packages. This is a Hints and Tips books. As such it is probably the second book you should read on GoLive. It doesn't give you a 'Get Started' type tutorial, it starts out with 'If you don't like the home screen, here is how to change it.' All in all, there are 250 Tips and Tricks. I found the most useful to be the Third-Party Actions and Extensions. In this area are extensions like Adding PayPal eCommerce (Free, a very good price, but of course you pay later in commissions), a Secure Shopping Cart (various prices) and a bunch of utility packages that are free to nominally priced. This was the most useful because I wasn't aware that some of these add-ins were even available. At any level from beginner to pro, if you read this book you'll get an idea or two well worth the cost of the book. Comment | | (Report this)
