5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done - it's like taking a class while reading the book, September 21, 2007

By	SimsGal "denise" (Marysville, WA) - See all my reviews

This book is a wonderful starting point for someone new to Dreamweaver (and Web design). Its step-by-step approach makes it easy to learn how to use the many features that are available in Dreamweaver. And the CD that comes with the book is also great. It contains sample files so you can do all of the exercises in the book, which contribute greatly to the learning process. It also has video tutorials, another really nice feature. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is learning Dreamweaver. It's one of the best how-to books I have ever used.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid training, not just basic, September 21, 2007

By	Erin S. Contour "<ESC>" (Del Mar, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm in school - this book was a textbook. I've used the Adobe Press ones, too basic and boring examples. I hardly read them and never again used them as a reference. This one I enjoy reading and do refer to. There is more information and I like the layout.

What a lifesaver. I was so lost! This book started answering my questions from page one. Easy to follow, hands-on training and at the right price. You can start on your project as you read. Priceless!!
