Reader Reviews
I am talking the certification test next week. I almost did not buy this book because of the negative reviews, but I am very glad that I did. I completely disagree with the three prior reviews: I think this is indeed a study guide, and not a user guide. It is 200 pages, so of course it cannot teach you Dreamweaver. Its purpose is to give you a sort of elaborately annotated "checklist" of DW 2004 MX features so you can address the features you are not familiar with; even if you use DW often, there will be areas you are not familiar. I think this a great "study guide" if you go through it with DW open on your PC/Mac. Here is the point, straight from the intro: "This book is not a cheat sheet. It will not teach you DW MX 2004 from scratch, nor will it give you a list of things to remember to pass the test. What it will do is help you systematically review every major (and not so major) feature..." Against this promise, this "study guide" delivers. Especially because the Exam Specifications that you download from Macromedia--I don't know about you--raised more for me questions than it answered. For 200 small pages, it also has a high signal-to-noise ratio. There are some really helpful snippets in here. I can't promise I'll pass the test, but in my opinion, a decent strategy includes (1) use DW, (2) work through either the Missing Manual or the Bible, and (3) use this study guide to systematically give yourself a comprehensive tour of the program features.
