Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows and Macintosh

I'm far from a Geek. I fall more into the geek wana-be category. This book has a wonderful balance of in-depth knowledge / how to and this is the basics of what you need to know. That being the case of course I want my own web site. This is an excellent reference book on how to build your own web site using Dreamweaver CS4. Why I find this book so helpful: 1. the instructions are clear 2. contains lots of 'screen shots' to illustrate exactly what they are talking about 3. well organized 4. easy to read and understand (explains jargon but typically in side boxes so I only have to reference the info when I need it) 5. does not assume I know everything yet does not treat me like a dummy either

I got his book for a class last year. It is great!! Love the way it is written, and there are plenty of pictures to provide visual detail to what is being talked about. This is a great book for someone who is just getting stared with DW CS4!

I ordered this book for a class. I assumed that my instructor would reference it during class time, but he has not thus far (and we've passed mid-term). HOWEVER, because he seems more interested in design aspects and NOT application/technical aspects, THIS BOOK has been an invaluable resource. I have many books like this as it relates to the application itself -- I own the books but don't read them; this is the first time a publication has been easy enough for me digest. I am not a connoisseur of technical publications so I can't rate it in that regard, but I can say for someone who learns best when they SEE the steps, this book has helped me get over that hump in learning an application through using a written resource.

Visual step-by-step guide on major tasks. Perfect manual for someone who already has a little bit of knowledge but just needs reminders or instructions on additional common tasks.

This is an excellent resource book. It is written for both the the beginner and the advanced user. I have read a wide variety of books on this subject, I have found this to be the easiest, best text.
