A Quick Reference:
This book is fantastatic as a quick reference. It gives you answers in short time. For example: if you want to do "this", press "this", "this" and then "this" and it's done. However, it must be stressed that I'd recommend buying another book--one that is more thorough in explaining how to use Dreaweaver to build and manage a web site--in addition to this one--unless you are already proficient in HTML and a previous version of Dreamweaver.
great source for info!:
I teach Adobe's DreamWeaver CS3 to high school students. Every now and then, I get a question that I have to "postpone" until I can conduct a little research. The first book I choose from the ig shelf of programming is Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (How-Tos)! Kudos to the authors - clear and concise answers to fairly frequent DreamWeaver users' questions.
Highly recommend it:
I own this book but haven't read it yet. I'm in the process of learning Photoshop and Illustrator CS3. However I can say that this is an excellent series of books. I started out with Photoshop and went on to study Illustrator, Dreamweaver is next. The books are less then a quarter of the size of all the other instructional books out there but packs ten times the easy to read and understand knowledge. I highly recommend it!
It was truly good but daaa....:
I was satisfied especially in the table sections. Most book set aside about building up a well-organized structured tables. Well, this book straight ahead solve the problem. You'll be happy when you now know how professional looking web sites structure their tables. But the 'Frame' part is certainly is a non-understandable as the author might think using frames is not appropriate in today world web design. But anyway, I just let that slip by because as a designer, I know Frames sometimes lead to confusion.... more info
