Reader ReviewsIf you are a true lover of computer books or someone looking to learn Dreamweaver, you are going to be very happy if you make the choice to hit that 'Put in Cart' button! Each chapter is packed full of information. In fact, it is so thorough that this is the only downside of the book! Imagine that, too much information a downside! The reason some may find it to be a downside is because people new to the program will find that later parts of some chapters will be too advanced and advanced users will find that earlier sections may contain too much detail. But, I'm tellin' ya, it's worth every penny and then some. Pick a chapter any chapter and I'll give you an example. Oh, the chapter on Tracing? Okay! A lot of designers use programs like FireWorks and Photoshop to lay out site ideas for their clients and then pop them on a CD or web page for the client to choose from. DreamWeaver has a powerful utility that takes advantage of these images as a 'Tracing' image to be used when the designer is ready to start building the site. Inside DreamWeaver MX covers this process in detail and even though it is a process I am familiar with, it has taught this old dog new tricks! As I mentioned earlier, there are parts of this section that reviewed things I already knew, but even those early sections contained information valuable to my skills because they decreased the time it takes to complete a project. I always say, found time is found money! This is only one small section in a huge book. I haven't even mentioned the details it has for processes like ASP.NET, XML, plus tons of additional e-commerce and site design information. Inside Dreamweaver MX is definitely something that anyone interested in building sites would benefit from, even if you don't use the program! Happy building! Leslie
