Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: How To Use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and Fireworks MX (How to Use) (Paperback)
In many of the "how to" books on Fireworks and Dreamweaver I've read, there has been a tendency to pile on and sadly, even show off the author's knowlege rather than staying focused on the task at hand. This is all fine for veteran web masters(who probably don't need the books in the first place). But for the person who is new to the interface, it is best to keep things simple and focused. We don't need to see the details of the whole forest ecosystem when all we want is to build a little treehouse. This is why I find Lon Coley's book so valuable. It stays focused on the concept and, I might add, gives some pretty good hints and tips. The large color illustrations are also a nice break from the monochromatic examples in most texts. Most books claim they are designed for the "beginner to the advanced user", but they usually focus somewhere in between. They make too many assumptions about the Newbie's level of experience, and most really advanced techniques require their own books. This book is truly for the Newbie beginner and it fills a badly needed slot.
