Book Description

0321499816 978-0321499813 May 24, 2007
Dreamweaver CS3, now included as part of Adobe's Creative Suite 3, is the leading professional Web design and development application in the market, and is a must-have tool for any Web designer or developer. Dreamweaver CS3 offers new CSS layouts, a unified CSS panel, and CSS visualization tools that let users create interactive Web sites without having to delve into code. Dreamweaver users can now create dynamic interfaces using the Spry framwork for Ajax. (Spry is 99% HTML, so it's accessible to both designers and developers). Spry widgets (pre-built user interface components) let users quickly add common user interface components to Web pages. Each chapter in this full-color book contains a project that builds upon the reader's growing knowledge of Dreamweaver, while review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce the most important skills. Readers will learn how to customize a Dreamweaver workspace, apply cascading style sheets, enter headline and body text, insert graphics and rollovers, and add links to a page. They'll also learn how to add interactive elements to their site, such as behaviors, effects, and Flash video; add new code or code snippets; and publish their finished site to the Web.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but full of errors, June 5, 2007
By 
G. S. (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I purchased this book to help with my transisition from FrontPage to Dreamweaver. The book is a good reference in learning the features of Dreamweaver but it so full of errors that the Adobe Creative Team should be embarassed. If any of them would have actually proof-read the book these errors could of been easily corrected before printing.

This sounds like a rant but when you pay $50+ (I bought before there were savings) for a book you'd expect a $50+ book. Not one that is full of errors.

There aren't any other books to recommend but if you're wanting to learn Dreamweaver and you don't mind the price, and the errors within the book that cause you to re-read pages to find out what you missed (when you didn't, the steps just don't always flow correctly), then I recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very good start, June 8, 2007
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
The book has very simple instructions, and clear pictures. It is very basic and light on information. It is good for beginners. For example, the book teaches you how to build a form into your page, but does not go into how to process the info gathered.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless Junk, June 14, 2007
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I regret that I cannot give less than a one star rating to this garbage.
There are numerous misprints and errors. It teaches nothing. You learn nothing. You just follow along by rote, like a robot, not understanding how or why. To add to the insult, many of the examples simply don't work.
And in Adobe's usual arms length from the public arrogance , you cannot contact anyone to ask about the contents of this waste of paper or about the program itself.
