Customer Reviews & Comments
With a title: "Dreamweaver CS4 for Dummies", you expect it to be just that...for dummies. Even the intro explains that this book is aimed at people with only a basic level of computer experience (ie: internet experience, microsoft word, etc.). Now. I am a smart person - I am not expecting web design to be a peace of cake, but I am finishing a degree in biology...I should really be able to use the "dummies" book. It jumps back and forth between the different "books" within this big book. It fails to fully explain many, many things. I've been sitting here for three hours trying to "Create" a website, and this book is a big epic fail. For example: I took the book's advice and picked a "preset template" with which to play around in. It notes in the book that I can also pick from preset colors, as well. I have read and reread the step-by-step instructions (as well as flipped through various areas of the book), and am I still stuck with either 1) a layout with no color or 2) a bunch of HTML script which (I assume) codes for a bunch of colors. What. The. Heck. Furthermore, after trying to see how I can edit the color on my website, I check the book for "color" in the index...and, believe it or not, there is no general info page on how to change/add colors onto websites. There is merely a page number which takes me to an advanced and non-related page. Anyway, the other reviews were written by a graphic designer and an individual who had experience with past dreamweaver versions - for someone with that level of experience, this is surely a helpful book. However, for you people who have never looked at dreamweaver and have utilized websites at the facebook/google/wikipedia/blackboard level, this is probably not for you.
