Brilliant book November 28, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am fairly new to Webdesign and Dreamweaver, and feel I have come a long long way thanks to this book. The author David McFarland clearly has a serious mastery of Web Design and Dreamweaver, and does a good job of explaining every aspect of the program. Also, as brilliant as Dreamweaver is, there are still a few features that are best avoided, for various reasons. McFarland is not afraid of pointing out any such features.
I highly recommend this book.
I thought I knew it all (well most of it) June 27, 2007

I thought I knew Dreamweaver pretty well and I bought this book to learn some of the bells and whistles, how wrong I was. I decided to start at the beginning and soom learnt that although I could drive Dreamweaver I wasn't always taking the most effective route.
As a result of following the advice in this book, I now have a much easier to maintain web-site and I have actually reduced the supporting code, making it faster to load to my viewers browser.
There are excellent step-by-step tutorials at the end of the key chapters and they consolidate the key new learning points into practical application.
An excellent book and I will certainly look at others in the series.
Oh yes, it's very, very good June 4, 2007

Much of my work involves producing fairly advanced Flash material for promotional and training purposes. The need recently arose to use html to produce a 'Flash look-alike' front end for a web site. The problem with Flash is that search engine spiders can't read Flash material and therefore don't index sites that are entirely Flash based.
I'd used Dreamweaver occasionally in the past but I needed a serious refresher course - which this book provided, clearly and concisely, in spades!
OK, I didn't need to work through the entire book but concentrated on the sections dealing with absolute positioning and layouts that are entirely CSS based (no tables, no layers). No problems at all - I ended up with a very neat html front end to a Flash site - which the spiders should have no problems with.
The book is definitely to be recommended for anyone who's serious about using Dreamweaver either a standalone programme or in conjunction with Flash and/or Fireworks.

I have only done a very small amount of web design, using hobby type programs. I wanted to design some proper websites, so I bought Dreamweaver, having never used this program before, I didnt know where to start.
This book has been totally helpful, and is written in a very readable style, is very helpful and tackles subjects in a logical and systematic order.
I wolud highly recommend this book to anyone new to Dreamweaver.

I am totally new to designing Web pages, and was always told not to get Dreamweaver as it is tricky to use.
This book has made Dreamweaver so easy to understand. The book also includes tutorials and links to downloadable files to give you hands-on practice.
I would definitely recommend this book.
