Dreamweaver 8 Bible [With CDROM]

Dreamweaver 8 Bible is an extremely large text that discusses and illustrates all of the latest features of the Dreamweaver 8 web design program. While this book does cover the basics like start up menus, building static web pages, and the drop and drag aspects of this intuitive program which are suitable enough in detail for those new to web site design, this text contains a good deal of information that is more suited to the intermediate to advanced web designer. Such topics includes working with dynamic data, modifying graphics using Fireworks, inserting Flash and Shockwave elements, and enhancing website productivity. Sections include lots of tips, cautions, notes, and illustrations. The step by step instructions and the resulting illustrations in some of the more advanced topics are particularly useful, not only to explain the how tos of these features but also exposing the reader to the potentials uses of these aspects. Dreamweaver 8 Bible comes with a CD containing the trial Dreamweaver 8 program and interactive lessons.

I own the photoshop 7, Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8, and a few others from this series. It may be too in-depth for some novices, but if you really want to learn a lot about the product and are willing to take the time to read it, they do very well. The sample projects give some good hands-on experience, and a companion CD is always nice.

this is a good book to get a great background on DW8 and understand creating websites. If you don't have any background in HTML or webpages, the size of the book may overwhelm you but I found it very useful to get a comprehensive understanding of DW. It helped my to get concepts correct. The examples were broken on my CD but after a little playing around, I got them to work.

I would highly recommend this new release on Dreamweaver 8 Almost 1200 pages of relevant and detailed information. This book is very comprehensive and thorough. A CD Rom with instructive tutorials also comes with this book. Fireworks 8 and Flash 8 are also covered which is nice for those of us who have them and would like some instruction on use as well as how to integrate them with Dreamweaver 8. I've seen most of the offerings out there right now and this is the most complete one of all. Highly recommended!
