Reader Reviews
Since it seems there is a discrepancy in the other two reviews listed here, let's make mine the deciding vote for now. I have not been a computer instructor, violinist, nor have I smoked crack in an Ikea or done a Mormon book-a-thon. I am an average guy with mediocre basic computer skills. I found this book to be totally confusing. I tried to follow the tutorials closely, but I found that there were horrible gaps in the information necessary for me to get very far with it. The author claims that the book can be used by "beginners", and while I am not a complete beginner, I had trouble understanding how to do very much after Chapter 2. For someone with a good understanding of HTML and other design programs, this might be a good introduction to Dreamweaver, but for me, it just made me go out and buy Adobe Go Live because the interface is familiar and the program not too hard to understand.
