2.0 out of 5 stars Great to learn Dreamweaver but...., October 6, 2008

By	David Alosi "dalosi" (Napa, CA.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

But not if you're on a Mac. Windows oriented, even the downloadable files for use with the textbook are packaged as .exe files but only contain gifs and jpegs. Why would they even do that? Even my windows friends were reluctant to download them. They don't even try to put in any Mac screenshots or keyboard commands, and it is overstuffed with pages and pages of pictures, I guess to make it longer and more expensive.

On the other hand, it is easy to follow. I'm taking the class now, so it was the required text.

2.0 out of 5 stars PC's only, March 3, 2009

By	Scott Heitman (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Only get this book if you plan on using a PC. It's been frustrating trying to translate it to Mac. There are also downloads that can only work with a PC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great self teaching book, October 3, 2008

By	M. Burklow "MsMoon" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a book required for a college class. I would recommend it for anyone who wanted to learn Dreamweaver on their own. It is very easy to follow and gives you some of the tricks to easier web design.
