Reader Reviews
This is the 3rd book I've read on Dreamweaver, and so far the best. However, it's *not* for beginners! No tutorials that walk you through lessons are to be found here. It's more of a reference book, but I read it straight through and highlighted the useful tidbits. Don't purchase this book without a good basic working knowledge of HTML and some experience of Dreamweaver, even if it's only with the demo version. Otherwise, much of this stuff will go over your head (hey, some of it even went over *my* head!) I think this book will come off my shelf again when I've got a better handle on Dreamweaver, and I'll gloss through it again to reinforce what I picked up the first time... and fill in the missing bits that I didn't. Oh, and there are some really insightful "Tips" and "Notes" on each page, a few of which addressed the exact problem I was having! I was quite pleased to see the author mention what I considered to be an obscure point that only related to my own situation. Almost felt like he was there beside me! Only drawbacks: there are no tutorials, no CD-ROM, and because of it's brevity (279 pgs) it doesn't cover everything you need to know, but that's a minor point I suppose. The book doesn't set out to tell you everything you need to know -- just the highlights. And even though he refers to his "companion website" to the book in every chapter, the web site doesn't exist! (or else doesn't work!) Major complaint, and the reason he only gets 4 stars. Other than that, possibly the best Dreamweaver book at this price on the market.
