A Great Book for All Levels
Before getting this book I knew absolutely nothing about Adobe Dreamweaver. Granted, I use Adobe Photoshop and InDesign a lot...so I was familiar with the Adobe family. Regardless, this book covers everything. I went from knowing nothing about web design to having my own web page up and running in 2 days. The book is very thorough, easy to read...especially for beginners, and the format is ...

Great book to learn Dreamweaver CS3
This book makes Dreamweaver very clear, and when I have a question, it is always answered in the next sentence. It is so clear and easy to understand. It has a cd in the back with excercises in it for every chapter. Then the illustion in the chapter will show you how it is supposed to look....just like a text book!! Very well written and easy to follow. I have computer experience but not ...

good intro to Dreamweaver
This is an excellent introduction to Dreamweaver CS3 for people who are familiar with web technologies but who have never worked with Dreamweaver. It covers the basics quickly and even goes into a number of best pratices and advanced topics. For example, it covers css positioning and layout as a more modern alternative to using tables. This makes it easier to design for alternate device browsers ...

Learn Flash in a flash
The Adobe Flash CS3 Classroom in a book is an easy to understand and fast way to get up to speed with the latest version of Flash. How do I know? I had NEVER used any previous version of Flash and solely using this book, in two weeks I taught myself enough to pass the Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) certification exam!

A Fun Entry-Level Tome on Standards-Based Web Site Development
I teach college courses on Web development that emphasize Web standards and usability. This is one of only two entry-level (X)HTML + CSS books that I will recommend to students. "Head First.." is a fun and lively book that is very much aimed at ordinary folks who are having a hard time figuring this stuff out. It's pleasurable scenarios and tongue-in-cheek humor push learning toward the ...

Best CSS Book
I've read a few CSS books in the past and haven't been pleased at all. When I tried some of the examples in those books, it hardly ever worked like the book said it would. Most of this was caused by browser incompatibility. Now this book, explains the way things should work and then tells you how to get around some of the browser incompatibilities. And it explains it in plain English. I've been a ...

Good book for beginners and semi-advanced users
This is a great book, especially for beginning users of Dreamweaver, but also for those who may have had a class or two in college and feel like they need a little bit more in-depth instruction.

A great COMPANION to a class ...
I read the other reviews and had to comment. This book is NOT a technical manual, nor a step-by-step on how to design websites. Rather, it is a COMPANION book on how to use DreamWeaver. If you are familiar with other Adobe products, then you will appreciate that DreamWeaver maintains many similarities. If you are NOT familiar with Adobe products, then you are in for a major learning ...

Essential Book For Your Dreamweaver Library.
I have had some experience in using Dreamweaver since version 8, and I wanted to 'marry' my meager PHP+MySQL experience in using Dreamweaver CS3 beyond what I was currently doing; creating static XHTML+CSS websites. This book has exceeded my expectations and then some! With it, I am now able to easily create dynamic websites, all within the GUI comfort of Dw CS3. (Ok, some ad hoc hand coding ...

Outstanding textbook for starter and doers!
The book is awesome. Especially for those who like to learn by doing it. Despite few editing issues like miss typo or calling different functions with the same name, i was able to follow with the content. Higly Recommend.

Complete.
This book, while daunting in size, is very accessible and contains everything you need to know about Dreamweaver CS3. I'm a designer, comfortable coding CSS/HTML but pretty green when it comes to things like XML and Spry. Other Dreamweaver books I looked at didn't have anything I didn't already know...so I knew they were lacking in a big way. This book takes you through every nook and cranny and ...

Great for impatient people
I like to just jump in. Hate reading instruction manuals, find most of them little better than the cause of a good nights sleep. This book is my first exception! Sure I have still jumped in but have also worked my way through this book from the beginning and am finding the answers to my problems as I create them. Also finding that the book is interesting enough in itself, that I am avoiding ...

successfully hides most HTML
Warner takes a reader through an easy tour of Dreamweaver CS3. No previous exposure to it is needed. An added bonus, which is made clear by the narrative, is that you also do not need much background in knowing HTML. To some people who have never dealt with HTML, it can be daunting. What Dreamweaver does is make the composition of an HTML web page as painless as possible. Typically, much of ...

Short and Sweet
This book is brief in form but comprehensive in scope. It has excellent screen shots from Dreamweaver and clearly labeled step by step instructions. I own several Dreamweaver books but this one is by far my favorite. I don't enjoy reading long winded technical books that take ten or twenty pages to say what this book can say in two. If you like more visuals and less words then this book may be a ...

Beautifully illustrated, well written and helpful
This is one of several tutorial packages I bought at the same time to help me learn the Adobe CS3 suite of web-related programs. I wanted to determine which was the best to start with, so I sampled a couple of chapters from each of about six titles before deciding this was the clearly best of the group to get me started. My main interest is in learning Flash, but I've got a use for almost ...

A Great "HOW TO" book for Dreamweaver CS3

I work with all Adobe products and this was my last learning curve - made easy with this book. Thanks, R. Grant

Excellent Guide for taking it to the next level
I have quite a bit of experience building static sites and pages and realized the importance of expanding my understanding of building dynamic sites. I have a pretty good understanding of using Dreamweaver but am just getting started on using Dreamweaver CS3. I was hoping to get a better idea of how to use all of the new features in CS3 while also specifically learning php. I got more than I ...

Great production techniques for Dreamweaver cs3 and fun!
I found Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS3 refreshing, informative and fun. Having built dozens of websites using Dreamweaver, studying this book strengthened my production techniques. IE hacks (for all versions) were scattered throughout the book. Excellent explanations were given. A variety of layouts were used throughout the chapters, with again excellent explanations.
