Mastering Macromedia Dreamweaver X [With]

Having never used a Macromedia product, and working approx. one hour a day, I completed this book in three weeks. Overall, my experience was good. Following the same format as the manual, Mastering Dreamweaver 3 elucidates on every point, further allowing you to interact with each of Dreamweaver's tools and options as you work to create the site of Glendale city. But, unlike the manual, there is a linear textbook structure that motivates and provides practical applications for the use of each tool and option, thus making the learning process more substantial and meaningful in the long run. The only down side is that as the book progresses, especially in the Fireworks section, the book becomes quite terse, e.g., with slicing and tweening techniques, and I often found myself using the manual to supplement my reading. Nevertheless, I'm happy to have read and used the book, the authors performed excellently. Thank you.

I'm a beginner in web weaving and this book is brilliant. Dreamweaver is also a brilliant tool so I highly recommend this combination if your serious about your web design. I believe this book is not so good for advanced users so they would probably be advised to look elsewhere.

This book really gets to the point in showing how to get the most out of Dreamweaver. The Fireworks coverage is real icing on the cake, too. Solid, practical, and useful.

This book is only second to Lynda's book. Its full coverage with realistic examples is outstanding. Many books get lost in the details and miss the best features of a software. This one not.

A must have for web development. An indispensable source for digging the features out of Dreamweaver 3.0. As an ex-Frontpage user this book was a godsend for the transition to a sometimes complicated program. Keep up the good work!
