Customer Reviews & Comments
Although mainly written for the beginning Web design student, I found this book to be a fun review of my own roots in basic HTML and the Web, in general. Also, being new to Dreamweaver's way of doing things, I found the book to be a complete and thorough walk-through of Dreamweaver's every feature. I enjoy books that take you step-by-step through the process of a thing. Inside Dreamweaver is a great example of that. Each chapter lays the groundwork for chapters to come. At the same time, each chapter (after introductory chapters are out of the way) gives repeated opportunity to learn and solidify skills by doing a fun example. A fun example? Yeah! I had fun. At least one of the authors (maybe more) has a true flair for simple, yet attractive designs. I've been designing Websites and Web applications (in other programs) for 5 years and I enjoyed the "silent" review of simple design concepts presented-not in words-but in the "good" designs themselves. I'm glad to see a book, like this instruct it's readers in correct practices. I meet allot of Webmasters who have "known" HTML for years, yet struggle with the "new" standards, such as XHTML 1.0. I scratch my head at this. Not much has changed! Only now the standards are enforced and deprecated code will fail. I've been a big believer in standards compliance since first reading "HTML 4.0 - No Experience Required (Sybex)". And now it's nice to see another book, "Inside Dreamweaver", perform the same service to it's readers by letting them know what is and is not recommended. "Inside Dreamweaver" will instill confidence in the beginning student and provide reliable and accurate review of sound Web design principles for both the new and veteran Webmaster.
