Customer Reviews & Comments
This was the 2nd book on Dreamweaver I read.... This book is spiral bound, making it easy to lay flat on your desk or table while you work on the tutorials. It's easy to follow, with clear directions that take you through each exercise. However, it's very lightweight when it comes to explaining why you're doing what you're doing. The tutorials are more like, "Do this, now do that, now you're done." Although I successfully completed them all, I was left feeling a bit like I was just being carried through the exercises, instead of being encouraged to think about what I was doing and why I was doing it. Definitely geared towards the first-time user -- if you've read another book or two on Dreamweaver and have developed at least one site with it (even a basic site) then you probably won't benefit too much from this book. The book has a bit of a feel like those classroom workbooks you got in school or if you've ever taken a corporate software training class. That's not necessarily a criticism -- just a comment and observation. I would say if you're a beginner with absolutely no experience with Dreamweaver, this will get you at least working in Dreamweaver on the tutorials. But don't let it give you a false sense of security -- you'll need to segue right into another book to build upon anything you pick up from this book. On the plus side, it includes a CD-ROM with the exercises, so all the files you need to use are provided for you...
