Reader Reviews
I bought this book and was sorely disappointed. I am a fairly proficient computer person; this book was not easy-to-follow. Contrary to a previous review, there were no "step-by-step" instructions at all. It basically said "do this", threw up a screenshot, and it didnt say exactly how to do it. I got to Chapter 6 and I am realizing that I am going to need another Dreamweaver MX tutorial book. I'm not happy about this at all. On a related note, I have bought SAMS Teach Yourself books and have never been disappointed. This was a first. ...I plan to avoid future titles from this author based on this book. This is just my honest opinion. Good luck...
