Reader Reviews
I am a more advanced computer user with a bit of Dreamweaver experience (OK, so it was many years ago). I wanted to get back into it, but dreaded the thought of mucking about lamely until I got the hang of it again. This book starts with the basics, and even though I am generally familiar with a lot of the concepts, the author always mentions more than one way to do things, so even "know-it-alls" like me find themselves learning a lot. I have finished the first 12 chapters and feel good about my knowledge of the programs basic features. It progressively gets more advanced in easily digestible chunks, so I'm looking forward to finishing the last 12 chapters. The only people I wouldn't recommend this book to are those who were advanced users of the previous versions. It's meant to introduce someone to the program in general, not deeply discuss the new features only.
